With the development of global warming, climate change attracted more and more attentions around the world. The close relationship between climate and soil have been proven by numerous studies. Climate influences not only soil formation but also soil properties. In turn, climate is also influenced by soil through greenhouse gases emission and soil based ecosystems. Reasonable exploration and utilization soil with careful protection could undoubtedly fight climate change and hence avoiding unforeseeable consequences. In this context, this position paper on the inter linages of soil and climate change has been accomplished by WASWAC and IUSS. We do hope that all scientific societies could be dispensable involved in this global challenge by taking effective actions.
