Drought is one of the costliest and deadliest hazards worldwide, projected to affect 3 in 4 people globally by 2050. But unlike disasters like earthquakes, drought prevention and resilience strategies can reduce its impact on land and livelihoods.
We begin at Water. Strengthening water security and using water more sustainably can alleviate pressure on communities already at risk. Join the dialogue to explore the challenges we face and solutions that help address them. Everyone is welcome.
The British Society of Soil Science is pleased to be hosting a webinar for London Climate Action Week on Monday 22 June from 3:00 - 4:30pm (UK time) which is free of charge to register. Join industry expert speakers as they discuss the role of soils in climate action.
Healthy soils are fundamental to achieving climate resilience and delivering net zero ambitions. Soil systems underpin carbon sequestration, water security, biodiversity recovery, resilient food systems, urban sustainability and the circular bioeconomy. Yet soils remain significantly underrepresented within climate policy, investment strategies and corporate transition planning. This London Climate Action Week webinar will bring together leaders from science, business, finance and policy to explore how soil can be positioned as a strategic climate solution supporting national and global climate ambitions.
This webinar aims to engage pastoralist youth and young women in generating additional youth-led insights, experiences, and recommendations for the Global Youth Policy Brief. It will complement the findings of the global survey, “Young Women and Youth in Pastoralism and Rangelands: A Global Survey to Inform UNCCD COP17 and the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists.”
Hosted by the Herding for Health (H4H), a joint initiative between Conservation International and Peace Parks Foundation, in partnership with GIZ, CCARDESA, and Meat Naturally, this webinar forms part of a broader series convened in celebration of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026.
Soil organic carbon plays a critical role in building climate-resilient food systems by improving soil fertility, strengthening water retention, supporting productivity, and contributing to climate mitigation. At the same time, soil degradation and unsustainable land management continue to undermine these benefits, while evidence on soil restoration and regenerative agriculture is not always reflected in policy, planning, or investment decisions. This 60-minute webinar will explore how evidence on soil health and soil organic carbon can be translated into policy-relevant messages and practical action. Participants will gain insight into the links between soil health, climate resilience, and food security, as well as the policy and governance gaps that continue to limit progress.
The 23rd WCSS, organized by International Union of Soil Sciences and Soil Science Society of China, will be held in the International Expo Center from June 7 to 12, 2026 in Nanjing, the capital city of the most developed Jiangsu province, under the theme of “Soil and the Shared Future for Humanity”.
From 18-20 May 2026, the 4th Africa Food Systems Transformation Meeting (Accra, Ghana) brings together National Food Systems Convenors and African countries, alongside regional partners to advance implementation of national food systems pathways following the advent of CAADP-Kampala (January 2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit +4 Stocktake (UNFSS+4). The meeting provides a focused country-led space to take stock of progress, cross-country learning, align priorities, and strengthen coordinated support for food systems transformation toward 2030.
The UN Food Systems Coordination Hub is pleased to invite you to join us virtually for the final day of the Youth Leadership Programme (YLP) convening, Building the next generation of food systems leaders in developing countries, on Friday, 15 May 2026, 09:00–16:00 CEST.

The Miombo woodlands, the world’s largest tropical dryland ecosystem, support over 65 million people but are rapidly degrading due to unsustainable land use and limited restoration incentives. On May 6th (12:00–13:00 EAT) at the Global Landscapes Forum 2026, this interactive session will explore how to connect conservation, livelihoods and finance to co-design locally led landscape solutions that restore ecosystems and strengthen rural economies.
At the 11th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goal, the World Food Forum (WFF) Global Youth Action Initiative led by FAO’s Office of Youth and Women (OYW), convenes young farmers, innovators, researchers, youth leaders and policymakers to shape youth‑driven priorities for smart farming and digital agriculture.

The Youth4Soil Solution Showcase is a dynamic platform celebrating the power of youth to drive transformative change in soil health and sustainable land use. This activity emerged from the growing recognition that restoring our planet starts from the ground up, literally and metaphorically, and that young people are not just participants but frontline innovators in this mission.
Biochar field trials are taking place across many regions, but the resulting data remains fragmented, difficult to access, and rarely comparable across projects. This slows learning, increases the cost of experimentation, and limits the ability of producers and companies to make informed decisions.
The Biochar Resilience Network has created a pre-competitive Data Commons where anonymised results from biochar field trials are shared and compared across geographies, feedstocks, and production systems.
This webinar will introduce the initiative and present the emerging platform designed to host and explore these datasets.
Hooves of Hope is a powerful gathering at the intersection of people, planet, and purpose — where the rhythms of pastoral life meet the urgency of global change. This event brings together scientists, pastoralists, and policymakers to explore how grazing systems, when managed wisely, can restore rangelands, build soil carbon, and contribute meaningfully to climate solutions.
Measurement is foundational to the transformation of global food systems toward sustainability, yet building the capacity to measure what matters — across geographies, commodities, and stakeholder interests — remains deeply challenging. This virtual seminar, co-organized by Harvard Kennedy School Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government and partners, brings together practitioners working at the frontier of this challenge, from soil health to supply chains to diet quality.
