Editor's Notes
- On 25 September 2015, the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, global objectives expected to guide the actions of the international community over the next 15 years (2016-2030).
- 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture 13.Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts 15. Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all 11. Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
- The Global Soil Partnership Secretariat is the coordination and facilitation body in charge of facilitating the implementation of the GSP actions through its regional partnerships and networks. The GSP is hosted by FAO in Rome, Italy in view of its global mandate.
- Sixteen national soil institutions participated. following the endorsement of the implementation plan, many activities were implemented in the region already. For example, the launch of SEALNET (Regional Soil Laboratory Network for Asia), the production of the SOC maps, the writing of the Soil Atlas of Asia (ongoing), etc.
- Release of the Revised World Soil Charter “There is an urgent need to update the vision and guiding principles as spelled out some 30 years ago by FAO Member Countries in the World Soil Charter (FAO, 1981).
- Release of the SWSR
- Release of the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management we are currently implementing the VGSSM. In this regard, multi stakeholder national workshops are being organized with the support of national governments. Countries where workshops were already organized are Costa Rica, Thailand and the Maghreb region (Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya). Upcoming workshops: Iran. Plus Mexico, Hungary and Pakistan are taking into consideration the possibility to organize these workshops. All countries that are interested in this activity can contact the GSP Secretariat
- World Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and advocating for the sustainable management of soil resources.

- The Soil Doctors programme is developed under the umbrella of the GSP on encouraging investment, technical cooperation, policy, education, awareness, and extension in support of the soil resource. To build the capacity of small-holder farmers on the practice of SSM; To support governmental agencies and organizations working on agricultural extension at the field level (broader impact, lower cost); To enhance the quantity and quality of soil data and information and set the basis for establishing and/or reinforcing national soil monitoring activities; To support field research based on interactions between universities and research institutes with the Soil Doctors including access to demonstration and experimental fields; and To promote technical and scientific cooperation among countries for improving their soil testing procedures
- The programme will be launched on 5 December 2018 and that interested countries can contact the GSP Secretariat for further information and implementation.
- The GSOC17 was a scientific symposium co-organized by different organizations and bodies of the United Nations to gather scientific evidence for policy development on the role of SOC for climate change, food security and SDGs agendas. Main Objectives Participants from across the globe engaged actively by presenting the results of studies demonstrating the potential and challenges of managing and monitoring SOC and by discussing and developing the key messages reflected in the outcome document.
- One of the largest scientific events held at FAO Hq First event co-organized by different UN organizations on the role of SOC for climate change, food security and SDGs agendas and gather scientific evidence for policy development (UNCCD, IPCC, WMO) Over 100 oral and 34 poster presentations Science fair Outcome document Booklet on SOC Proceedings 488 participants from 111 countries New website and targeted communication (social)
