Soil health & Sustainable landscapes - Transformative action at scale

Pourquoi assister à cette session?

HideDescription
The world is waking up to the need to mobilize nature-based solutions to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals and address imminent global challenges: climate change, ecosystem degradation and food security. The science is clear and the economic case strong: soil health is the foundation of our food system; it boosts the resilience of farms and supply chains to the effects of increased climate variability. Businesses collaborating in the WBCSD Food & Nature Program together with expert partners step up to address this need through action on investment in soil health and sustainable landscapes. This session aims to (1) enhance recognition of the multiple dimensions of benefits of investment in soil health beyond acting as carbon sinks, of sustainable landscapes, their simultaneous contribution to the objectives of 3 UN conventions: UNFCCC, UNCBD and UNCCD and (2) explore possibilities for effective public-private collaboration, a key for transformative action at scale.
