The activity report for the intergovernmental technical panel on soils for 2019-20 outlines significant progress in understanding soil biodiversity, pollution, and management, alongside several postponed global symposiums due to COVID-19. Key initiatives included technical manuals on soil organic carbon, assessments of soil pollution, and the launch of an international network addressing salt-affected soils. Future goals for 2020-2021 focus on enhancing collaborations and finalizing various scientific and technical notes.

Editor's Notes
- #5: 15th CBD Conference of the Parties (COP) Kunming, China, Dates to be confirmed, also contributing relevant information to be reflected in the second Status of World Soil Resources (SWSR) report.
- #10: This workshop is organized to find sinergies between the methodology developed by JRC on mapping soil erosion and to what extent it can be adopted to the FAO global soil erosion map.
