Policies for a Sustainable Use of Soil Resources
Soil protection policies have been developed at National level in a number of
countries. The US Soil Conservation Act, the German Federal Soil Protection Act, and the
Soil Action Plan for England are just some examples of such policies. International policies
for a sustainable use of soil resources have been developed both at regional level and at
global level. The Alpine Convention and the upcoming EU Thematic Strategy for Soil
Protection are two examples of regional policies addressing soil protection. No specific
binding global policy exists for soil protection. Nevertheless, a number of environmental
protection policies address soil-protection aspects, like the climate-change convention, the
biodiversity convention and the desertification convention. Further development of the
EU Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection will make it possible to explore new methods of
international cooperation in this field.
