The Climate - Soil Community of Practice
This Climate-Soil Community of Practice (CoP) has 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 this Climate-Soil Community of Practice we want to promote awareness of the climate potential of sustainable land management and soil-carbon practices and identify concrete pathways for improvement and implementation. Specifically, we want to advocate for increased and concrete consideration of soil organic carbon in relevant interventions and politicy 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 action.
