A hub of all things soil at the Rio Conventions

#COPSoil

COPSoil is a dedicated clearing house of all things soil at the Rio Conventions.

Our goal is that no one leaves the COPs feeling like they missed an event related to soil health, simply because they didn’t know about it.

We aim to catalyze dialogue, innovation, and motivation toward scaling healthy soil practices the World over.

Soil health was formally recognized in 2023 in the UNFCCC COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action, in part because of the advocacy approach taken by CA4SH and our partners. In this brief, CA4SH partners and who engaged in this process lay out key lessons learned while advocating for soil in the context of the UNFCCC COPs, with recommendations for scaling this approach in other contexts.

At COP 28, a diverse and powerful group of nonState actors came together to launch the Food Systems Call to Action for Transforming Food Systems for People, Nature and Climate (Food Systems CtA). Representing farmers and frontline communities, businesses, philanthropies, cities, consumers and many others, this broad coalition delivered a strong message to assembled world leaders and the global community gathered for the 28th Conference of Parties (COP 28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that all actors must take urgent action to transform food systems to deliver positive outcomes for people, nature and climate.
