The Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18)’s Outcome Document: Be the Solution to Soil Pollution is now available also in French and Spanish. This document provides scientific evidence to support actions and decisions to prevent and reduce soil pollution for increased food security, nutrition, and ecosystem services, and to promote the remediation of polluted sites.

The nomination process for the Glinka World Soil Prize is officially open and all GSP Partners are invited to nominate candidates – individuals or organization –, either directly or on behalf of a third party.

The FAO Global Soil Partnership has the pleasure to invite individuals, institutions, NGOs, academia, colleges and universities, private companies or any other entities that in December 2018 have organized remarkable and engaging World Soil Day activities or campaigns to demonstrate the importance of soils for all to submit applications for the King Bhumibol World Soil Day (WSD) Award, edition 2019.

During the 7^th session of the GSP Plenary Assembly, the GSP Secretariat highlighted the success of the Regional Soil Partnerships and of several existing National Soil Partnerships. The latter bring together a range of national soil stakeholders and ensure a consolidated approach to actions of the GSP and other major initiatives related to the sustainable management of soil resources at the national level. As a result, on the 26^th of August 2019, Gambia formally established its National Soil Partnership.
