AICCRA @ COP27: Soil Health Resolution

When
WhereFood Systems Pavilion
A high-level plenary session on the Soil Health Resolution. Now is the time for multi-stakeholder action to build an enabling environment at multiple levels for supporting, financing, scaling and monitoring healthy soil ecosystems.

Background

Healthy soil is the foundation of sustainable and regenerative food systems and provide vital  ecosystem services, while also representing significant emission saving opportunities. Efforts to combat desertification, to move from scarcity to prosperity, will need to consider how to scale soil health, globally.

With over one third of the Earth’s surface degraded and over 3.2 billion people negatively affected by degradation, continuing business as usual is no longer an option. Now is the time for multi-stakeholder action to build an enabling environment at multiple levels for supporting, financing, scaling and monitoring healthy soil ecosystems.

About the Event

This plenary session will contribute to the COP27 by bringing together diverse stakeholders from science, policy, development, conservation and private sector to garner support for scaling investments in soil health. The session will provide meaningful content and insights to final statements coming out of the COP27.
