MeetingPlan of Action for Pillar One of the Global Soil Partnership
Promote sustainable management of soil resources for soil protection, conservation and sustainable productivity
2013Also available in:
The development of the Pillar 1 plan of action was initiated during the “Managing Living Soils” workshop held in Rome, Italy during December 2012. This workshop focused on the regional and national status, as well as challenges and priorities for sustainable soil management. This was followed by a Pillar 1 discussion session during the 2nd Global Soil Week held in Berlin, October 2013. The aim of the discussion was to decide on the structure of the plan of action and its main content. A formal W orking Group of 26 members was formed according to the GSP Rules of Procedure, tasked with developing a draft plan of action for Pillar 1 from November 2013 to March 2014. The draft plan of action was submitted to the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) for its review and endorsement. Following a very dynamic process during which ITPS recommendations were included, the draft was endorsed by ITPS during its second working session in April 2014 and submitted to the Second Plenary Ass embly of the GSP. The Plenary Assembly consolidated the original 11 recommendations endorsed by the ITPS into five concrete recommendations. Additional comments and suggestions from GSP members were incorporated and this final version of the Pillar One Plan of Action was endorsed by the Plenary Assembly of the GSP on 23 July, 2014. -
MeetingAsian Soil Partnership Workshop on Digital Soil Organic Carbon Mapping: Towards the development of national soil organic carbon stock maps Asia Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand, 24-29 April 2017 Final workshop and financial report 2017
Also available in:
The 25th Committee of Agriculture - COAG (FAO, Rome, 26-30 September 2016) and the 155th FAO Council (5-9 December 2016), assigned to the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) of FAO the task to establish the Global Soil Information System and prepare the Global Soil Organic Carbon Map (GSOC) by 2017. The GSOC map will be developed using a distributed approach which will strongly rely on country inputs to build a global map from national soil organic carbon (SOC) maps. To this end, countries were invite d to develop national SOC maps according to predetermined specifications developed by FAO. This would also allow countries to develop nationally important products in order to report on SDG 15.3.1 on land degradation and support the endorsed metrics for the assessment of land degradation neutrality (LDN).
