SOLO's roadmaps: Preliminary assessment of the knowledge gaps to reduce soil sealing and increase the reuse of urban soil

27 Aug 2024

To achieve the ambitious goal of 100% healthy soils in 2050, the EU has set up a complex policy framework for soil protection. The framework includes the Soil Strategy, the Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience, the European Soil Observatory, and the Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe”, as well as relevant sectoral policies

To support that, SOLO's Think Tank "No net soil sealing and increase the reuse of urban soils" has developed an initial version of the roadmap "Preliminary assessment of the knowledge gaps to reduce soil sealing and increase the reuse of urban soil".

The document aims to provide an initial overview of the topics addressed by the mission objective of no net soil sealing and increasing the reuse of urban soils and a preliminary list of associated knowledge gaps.
