1. INTRODUCTION
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, provides a shared
blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet through the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The goals call for a deep international collaboration
for the understanding of the main global problems and the search of strategic
solutions, giving great importance to environmental questions. In this regard,
severe soil degradation (e.g. soil erosion), as one of the most critical
phenomena affecting the Earth's surface, has been attracted more and more
attentions. The International Forum on Land Degradation, Soil Conservation and
Sustainable Development, 2021 (LASOSU2021) will be held on 21-23 August 2021,
in Dalian, China, to provide an opportunity for scientists to discuss pressing
issues on soil loss facing our profession and society. The official website of
LASOSU2021 is http://meeting.dlut.edu.cn/meeting/index_en.asp?id=2710.
