The SDGs are going to be a set ofglobally agreed goals and targets that provide orientation for future development policies. Currently soil aspects areworded in the proposal on the SDGs - even though the wording is overall a minor and partly inconsistent one. TheSDGs will be politically yet not legally binding. Enforcing and broadening the United Nations Convention to CombatDesertification could be an option for a global and legally binding instrument on soil protection. Soils are a crosscutting issue with relevance for environmental, social and economical concerns, equally. Therefore, protecting themis fundamental for sustainable development.In: Ehlers, Knut Ginzky, Harald: The Sustainable Development Goals - an important milestone on the global soil policy agenda in 2015 / Knut Ehlers ; Harald Ginzky.
