Funder Acknowledgement Guidelines for CGIAR Communications

Our funders deserve the acknowledgement and recognition for the crucial support they provide and for the concrete results and impact made possible by their investments. Updated June, 201

Submission from the CGIAR System Organization, International Centre for Tropical Agriculture and the World Bank, in response to Decision 4/CP.23.

Although there is increasing visibility and international frameworks for soil organic carbon, investment and action at sufficient scales is lagging behind. Practices that retain and increase soil organic carbon are well established but their effect is highly context specific. There is less understanding on pathways towards bringing the relevant practices to scale and investment has remained far below the necessary volume. Soils, mostly privately owned but delivering public goods, are managed under a miscellany of governance arrangements, from local to global. The diverse protagonists across business, governments and civil society who seek to secure soil organic carbon recognise barriers beyond their individual reach, and hence there is an urgent need to create and strengthen a cross-sectoral global agenda for collective action on soil carbon. This submission proposes a set of priority actions areas for consideration by KJWA to further the agenda
