    At its Sixth Session in June 2018, the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) Plenary Assembly (PA), upon request of its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS), voted to organize a Symposium on soil erosion “considering that this is the main threat affecting global soils”. The Symposium aims to incentivize bottom-up global soil erosion assessments under the umbrella of the Food and Agriculture’s (FAO) GSP. The Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (GSER19) is organized around three key themes: 1. Soil erosion assessment tools and data: creation, consolidation and harmonization; 2. Best erosion management practices of the last 20 years and policy support to address human-induced erosion; 3. The economics of soil erosion Although the three themes will be treated separately during the Symposium, they are inter-related. Prior to the GSER19 and for each of the themes, working groups were set up with the objective of discussing the key topics to be tackled for each theme. The discussions held within each of the three working groups were then translated into working documents that are presented in this final document. The three theme working documents will eventually assist the GSP and its partners in planning upcoming actions to address soil erosion at the global, regional and local level. A revised version of this document will be included in the outcome c of the Symposium, which will be published after the event. The working groups were composed of experts, members of the GSP’s ITPS, and the Science-Policy Interface of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (SPI-UNCCD), who participated on a voluntary basis.

It will also discuss trends in migration and other social or economic processes relevant to the description of the rural situation. The text will also discuss the importance of rural development in achieving the SDGs by identifying the current situation and the extent of change required to meet the SDGs.
