| Abstract | Soil protection is key for human security and survival. Not only because it is the basis of our agricultural food system but also because it is the world's second-largest carbon sink after the oceans. With the growing climate crisis, the significance of soil protection cannot be overvalued. Unfortunately, however, the legal protection of soil has mostly been left to national legislators as it is commonly linked to national territory on land. Under international law, soil protection has long been neglected in international agreements. There have been more recent developments in international law that aim to strengthen international soil law, especially but not exclusively in the context of desertification, land degradation and decarbonisation ambition. |
