Call for Experts on Soil Pollution. From assessment to remediation. Deadline 1 October 2018

FAO, FNs organisasjon for ernæring og landbruk søker ekseperter på forurenset jord til å sitte i to arbeidsgrupper.

  1. A Working Group “for developing feasible and regionally contextualized guidelines for measuring, mapping, monitoring and reporting on soil pollution” (WG 1)
  2. A Working Group “to create a database on the best available techniques for the management and remediation of polluted soils according to land use and edapho-climatic conditions, that can be adapted locally to assess and monitor soil pollution and to support management decisions” (WG 2).

Deltagelse er frivillig og åpen for alle interesserte som myndigheter (kommuner, fylkesmenn, direktorat ol), forskere, frivillige organisasjoner, NGOer, tiltakshavere, entreprenørselskaper og alle andre som arbeider med forurenset grunn.

Based on the recommendations developed and published in the Outcome Document of the Symposium “Be the Solution to Soil Pollution”, the GSOP18 Organizing Committee, led by the Global Soil Partnership (GSP), is calling for accelerated actions and collaboration to address and manage soil pollution with the aim of supporting the policy processes and actions towards the implementation of sustainable soil management practices. As a way forward, the GSOP18 Outcome Document recommended the establishment of two Working Groups (WG):

  1. A Working Group “for developing feasible and regionally contextualized guidelines for measuring, mapping, monitoring and reporting on soil pollution” (WG 1);
  2. A Working Group “to create a database on the best available techniques for the management and remediation of polluted soils according to land use and edapho-climatic conditions, that can be adapted locally to assess and monitor soil pollution and to support management decisions” (WG 2).

This open call for the establishment of the WGs represents a response to the urgent need to identify, compile and highlight strategies that promote and prevent soil pollution taking into account diverse contexts and scales and given differing local and national capacities among countries. The contributions should be adapted to regional and sub-regional specificities, site characteristics, land user needs and consider cost-benefit analyses and social impacts. The main aim is to collect material based on solid scientific evidences that will constitute the base for the compilation of two FAO technical manuals on Soil Pollution, at the end of the process.

In line with the inclusive, participatory and voluntary mandate and nature of the GSP, this call represents an open invitation to join for everyone interested to contribute comprising government representatives, scientists, researchers, NGOs, policy makers, members of existing initiatives and contaminated soil remediation companies, and any other relevant stakeholder.

The expression of interest and registration process will be closed on 1st October 2018. After the above-mentioned deadline, a proposal for the way forward will be sent out to all WG members.

The collaboration will be managed through an online process

In case you are interested to join one or both WGs, please send an email to Natalia Rodríguez Eugenio indicating the selected Working Group by 1st October 2018. After the deadline, a proposal for the way forward will be sent out to all WG members.

 

The collaboration will be managed by FAO through an online process
