A - INCEPTION & CONCEPTUALIZATION
Facilitate the emergence and ensure the feasibility of methodologies, tools and recommendations that foster stakeholders' ability to implement the Initiative on the ground
Objective
Ensure that the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of all UNFCCC country Parties contain references to soil health and Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), and that they are taken into account in their sustainable agriculture development programs.
In 2019, out of 196 countries' NDCs, only 13 refer to SOC in relation to agricultural mitigation targets or adaptation actions, and 20 refer to peatlands or wetlands in relation to such targets. A further 3 NDCs refer to soil carbon without clear linkages to targets.

A call-for-project 2020 introduced with a wider base of contacts and a targeted timing.
5 to 10 high quality projects selected
1 global (online) meeting a year
1 periodical note a year.
5 regional (online) meetings a year
2 to 3 periodical notes a year.
5 regional (online) meetings a year
5 periodical notes a year.
Screen, compile and share the best Carbon market mechanisms and compensation schemes on C sequestration
Develop a scientific reference framework including socio-economic aspects (research programs, international scientific cooperation and STC) that shows the potential of soil health contributing to carbon sequestration resulting in a positive carbon balance in AFOLU systems.
Start a multi-stakeholder discussion.
Contribution to CIRCASA project and inception of the IRC.
B - IMPLEMENTATION
Foster enabling environment and/or framework (business model, trustworthy third-party, tutoring, mentoring, amplify impact, scaling up) for implementation on the ground
Objective
Encourage the development and implementation of national and/or supranational strategies (including incentive and regulatory mechanisms) and responsible investment plans for soil health derived from the NDCs' targets.
Inventory of strategies and investments plans existing as of 2020.
Facilitate access to information and capacity development for land managers, in particular women, on how to improve soil health and increase SOC content for all agro-pedo-climatic regions.
Database of good practices on SOC management and capacity development delivered to one region and its sub-regions, as of 2021. Ex: Africa could be the 1st targeted area.

Develop and implement science-based regional helpdesks for :
(a) the planning of local actions on good AFOLU management practices
(b) the establishment and use of compensation schemes for carbon sequestration
(c) provision of ecosystem services at appropriate levels (principle of subsidiarity)
