The GSP Secretariat is taking steps to address recommendations from a stocktaking exercise, including transforming the current pillars into outcome areas. The new framework will articulate required changes for action at global and national levels to achieve soil health, biodiversity, and climate change goals. Specific work streams could focus on major soil threats like degradation, erosion, and pollution, while identifying partners.
Item iv. pillar 4 global implementation plan (discussion points)
- 1. Governance Recommendation 1: The Secretariat and ITPS should embark on the formulation of a revamped GSP Action Framework under the mantle: ‘Healthy Soils to meet SDGs, Biodiversity and Climate Change Goals’, including transforming the current Pillars into Outcome Areas for Soil Health. The framework could articulate required changes for action at global and national/regional level and illustrate cross cutting delivery mechanisms under the above Outcome Areas. Specific work streams could be around major soil threats or issues, e.g. soil degradation, recarbonization, erosion, pollution, soil productivity, while identifying core partners” fao.org/fileadmin/user_upload/GSP/eighth_PA/GSP_Stocktaking_Final.pdf or GSP stocktaking exercise
- 2. Governance GSP Secretariat is taking necessary steps to address the recommendations in the report of GSP Stocktaking Exercise including transforming the current Pillars into Outcome Areas. Should GSP continue developing an implementation plan with the current governance structure (INSII, PWG, SDF, ITPS, IUSS, RSPs)? Q Should GSP activities falling under Soil Information and Data domain stay under the pillared (4-5) structure or restructured under an umbrella name GloSIS (Towards Global Soil Information System (GLOSIS): Data Products, Harmonisation, Capacity Development...)? Q
- 3. Governance INSII consists of institutions nominated by their governments and GSP partner organizations that have the willingness to contribute to the Pillar 4 implementation. Only ONE INSII per country is not enough to cover all soil information and thematic products envisioned in P4GIP. INSII would become more responsive by involving more national institutions. Should more than one institution be allowed to represent a country in INSII? At least one institution per country (and Secretariat will work towards it) Q
- 4. Operational New Pillar 4 Global implementation Plan should have Workstreams for each activity group. This would be useful for smoother operation and clear workflows and delivery mechanism. Should implementation of the GLOSIS activities have clear work streams? If yes, do you agree with these or we add more? Q WS1 - Awareness raising/capacity development/resource mobilization WS2 - GLOSIS development WS3 - Development of standards/guidelines/product specifications WS4 - Building a community of practice WS5 - Developing data products
- 5. Operational New Implementation Plan is envisioned to be in force for 10 Years (2021-2030). Annual plans would be developed to for smooth implementation (annual activities, distribution of tasks, clear deadlines). Should INSII develop annual work plans during its annual sessions?Q
- 6. Fresh Fresh Data National data products and systems are relying on existing soil data and information. Data is the new currency and countries should be encouraged and supported for new soil data acquisition. New Sampling campaigns should be encouraged and supported as fresh data is the key to move forward. This would require more collaboration with other initiatives (GloSOLAN, JRC-ESDAC) Should new implementation plan also catalyse and bring mechanisms for new data acquisition (sampling design, resource mobilisation, monitoring..)? Q
- 7. Bridging the Gap between GIP & Community Community Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis would be needed. This will help INSII to better understand national, regional needs and priorities and to make new GIP to focus on needs and gaps. A true Community of Practice (CoP) with continuous and structured capacity building is needed. Should Pillar 4 Working Group conduct a survey among INSII for needs and gap analysis?Q
- 8. F.A.I.R FAIR data are data which meet principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability. The new P4GIP should encourage countries and data providers to ue F.A.I.R data principles. Should the new P4GIP have an activity item for raising the level of knowledge and awareness of ohe importance of open data?Q
- 9. Regional Soil Partnerships Considering their fundamental role of RSPs, their roles should be clear in the implementation plan and in the workstreams.
