The ‘Soils for Europe’ meeting follows the trilogue agreement on the proposal for a Soil Monitoring and Resilience Directive that took place on 9 April 2025. The session will bring together experts and policy-makers to explore key aspects of the proposed Directive, soil health and functions, as well as soil monitoring and management. It aims at further strengthening the science-policy interface on soils and taking a closer look at the practical aspects of the Directive at the national level.
