- The IUCN has adopted Motion 007 on Soil Security Law, creating the world’s first model legal framework for soil protection.
- The resolution will guide over 90 countries in developing national laws focused on soil conservation, regenerative agriculture, and legal accountability for soil health.
- The motion was co-sponsored by international soil conservation organizations and think tanks.
- This marks the first formal recognition by a global conservation body that soil security is essential for food, water, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
- Following adoption, the IUCN will form a working group to develop concepts for an international convention or global legal instrument on soil security.
- The proposed Model Soil Security Law will help countries integrate soil protection into agriculture, climate policies, and ecosystem restoration programs.
- Since January 2025, consultations have been held with multiple countries to promote awareness and comprehensive soil protection measures.
