Available in five languages, the Resolution for Soil Health is a set of commitments to enable and scale healthy soil practices to mitigate and adapt to climate change, restore biodiversity, improve water resilience, enhance food and nutrition security, and protect natural and cultural heritage.

In this presentation, the objectives, desired outcomes, pathways and benefits of adopting the Soil Resolution are broken down, enabling cross-cutting communication of the need for advancing soil health at the UNFCCC COP27 and beyond.

To make progress on some of the world’s most pressing challenges such as food security, nutrition, climate change and inclusive economic opportunity we must look at soil as a vital asset. The Call to Action for Soil Health -- issued in July 2021 by the Private Sector Guiding Group Coalition for Soil Health -- is inspired by these challenges and the UN Food Systems Summit.

Soil loss and degradation due to poor land management and agricultural practices pose a critical threat to society, our planet and business operations everywhere. This report aims to support corporate investment into impactful, high-value, and long-term solutions that protect and improve soil health.
