The Climate - Soil Community of Practice
This Climate-Soil Community of Practice (CoP) has jointly been jointly launched by the “4 per 1000” Initiative on soils for food security and climate and the GIZ Sector Project Soil Protection, Combating Desertification, Sustainable Land Management (BMZ) in 2020.
With The core concern of this Climate-Soil Community of Practice we want is to promote raise the awareness of the climate change mitigation and adaptation potential of sustainable land management and soil-carbon SOC enriching practices and identify concrete pathways for improvement and implementation. Its aim is to disseminate information on successful projects in the area of SLM and carbon sequestration, highlight good practices for overcoming adoption barriers and strengthen the case for sustainable land management as a key to effective climate action.
In addition, we . Specifically, we want to advocate for increased and concrete tangible consideration of soil organic carbon SOC in relevant interventions and politicy policy processes, such as the National Determined Contributions (NDCs).
The " Climate-Soil Community of Practice " (CoP) aims to disseminate information on successful land management and soil carbon projects, highlight good practices for overcoming adoption barriers and strengthen the case for sustainable land management as a key to effective climate actionprovides a platform for collaboration and peer-learning amongst its members and offers an open space for discussion and creative thinking.
