Global Soil Week 2013

Once lost, it is gone forever: the soil beneath our feet. Each year, billions of tonnes are lost due to erosion, indiscriminant environmental exploitation and poor political decisions. Hunger and the intensification of conflicts over land rights are some of the devastating results of this loss. Yet, it is not too late to work against the further loss of our soil.

21.10.2013

For the second time, stakeholders representing political, scientific and civil society communities from all over the world will meet at the Global Soil Week to draw attention to the limited but often forgotten natural resource, soil, and highlight the need to manage this resource in a sustainable manner. In accordance with this year’s motto ‘Losing Ground?’ we will discuss the changes that must be initiated to encourage responsible political actions in land management. To that end, participants will be developing a common action plan. The Global Soil Week is organized by the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) with our partners, the European Commission (EC), the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the United Nations Environment Programme (⁠UNEP⁠), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (⁠BMZ⁠), the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the German Federal Environment Agency (⁠UBA⁠).
