c) support the acquisition of relevant soil knowledge and the implementation of targeted
research in accordance with national conditions and needs to address applied challenges on
the ground;
d) promote links between existing multilateral initiatives and bodies to advance knowledge and
scientific understanding of soil issues, capture synergies, while taking into account the
existing and ongoing works and efforts that are being undertaken at the multilateral level,
and without duplicating or prejudging the work under the competent fora.
e) develop sustainable soil management guidelines for the different soils considering their
development objectives and decisions;
f) promote access to soil information and advocate the need for new soil surveys and data
collection;
g) promote investment and technical cooperation (including technology transfer) in all related
soil matters to address fundamental issues in different regions;
h) promote institutional strengthening and capacity development of soil institutions at local,
national, regional and interregional levels; and
i) promote the necessary public and government awareness of soils through recognition of a
World Soil Day and celebration of an International Year of Soils.
5. Composition and Governance
9. Governance of the Global Soil Partnership is proposed to be composed of the following
elements:
5.1 Partners
10. The GSP is a voluntary partnership, open to governments, international and regional
organizations, institutions, and other stakeholders.
5.2 Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS)
11. The Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) shall provide scientific and technical
advice on global soil issues to the GSP.
12. Members of the ITPS shall be experts appointed by the GSP Plenary Assembly for a term of
2 years, renewable for one additional term (with agreement of the GSP Plenary Assembly). The ITPS
Mandate of the ITPS
(Rule VI of the GSP Rules of Procedures)
a) provide scientific and technical advice on global soil issues primarily to the GSP and in
relation to specific requests submitted by global or regional institutions (UNCCD, UNFCCC, CBD)
b) advocate for the inclusion of sustainable soil management into different development
agendas.
c) review and follow up on the situation and issues related to soils in the contexts of food
security, use and management of natural resources, ecosystem services provision, climate change
adaptation and mitigation, and other relevant areas.
d) review and endorse from a technical viewpoint the GSP Plans of Action.
e) follow up on the implementation of these Plans of Action with due attention to their impact
and contributions to different global policies and initiatives related to sustainable development,
MDGs, food security, climate change adaptation and other subject matters.
f) in exceptional cases, when complex technical matters arise, request the Plenary Assembly and
the Secretariat to form technical committees aiming to gather specific advice.

The first Plenary Assembly (11-12 June
2013) of the Global Soil Partnership endorsed
the list of 27 experts and approved the
establishment of the first Intergovernmental
Technical Panel on Soils.
Aim: provide scientific andtechnical advice and guidance onglobal soil issues primarily to theGSP, and in relation to specificrequests submitted by global orregional institutions.
Members of the ITPS are expertsappointed for a term of 2 yearsrenewable for one additional term.
FIRST MEETING OF ITPS: SUMMARY AND RESULTS
The first meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Soils was held

Election of Chair:
The Panel elected Dr. Luca Montanarella as
Chairperson to serve for a period of two years.
Item 7.1. Soils and the Post Rio+20 SDGs: A brief on Soils has been prepared as an input for the Post 2015 process. A working group has been established for contributing to the ongoing process.
Item 7.2 Support to the GSP Pillars of Action: The Draft Plan of Action forPillar 4 was endorsed by the ITPS. The remaining Plans of Actions will bedeveloped following the agreed Rules of Procedure under the leadershipof the Secretariat. Certain ITPS Members joined specific Pillars forcontributing to the development of their Plans of action .
FIRST MEETING OF ITPS: SUMMARY AND RESULTS
Item 7.4 - Links between ITPS and existing technical and scientificadvisory bodies like IPCC, IPBES : ITPS requested the Secretariat tosend a letter to UN Conventions and relevant UN organizationspresenting the GSP and its ITPS as a mechanism that could contributewith scientific advice on soils to their different actions.
Item 7.3 - Preparation of a work plan and timetable for updating theWorld Soil Charter (1981): A working group has been established fordeveloping the new version of the World Soil Charter. The goal is topresent the new version at the 39th session of the FAO Conference.

Proposed quantitative SDG Post 2015 targets for soil
1) By 2030, Governments, business and stakeholders at all levels have taken
steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and
consumption which keeps the impacts of use of soils well within safe ecological
limits.
2) The rate of loss of soils associated with natural habitats and highly productive
agricultural soils is at least halved by 2030.
3) By 2030, soils in agriculture and forestry are managed sustainably ensuring
conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem goods and services.
4) By 2030, pollution, including from excess nutrients, has been brought to levels
that are not detrimental to soil functions and soil biodiversity.
5) By 2030, soils which provide essential ecosystem services are restored and
safeguarded.
6) By 2030, at least 30% of degraded soils are being restored to enhance carbon
stocks and limit erosion thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and
adaptation, protection of water resources, and combating desertification.
