标准2025在过去的30年里，人类对地球自然资源保护区的消耗翻了一番，全球三分之一的土地已经严重退化。迫切需要找到土地管理政策、规划和实践的解决方案
一项新的ISO标准将有助于国际上和各国土地管理者落实防治土地退化的最佳规范。最近出版的ISO 14055-1:2017环境管理-应对土地退化及沙漠化良好实践指南——第一部分：良好实践框架，为干旱和非干旱地区制定防治土地退化和荒漠化的良好实践提供了指导方针。
该标准是指于为了防治或减少土地退化，或在土地已退化的区域帮助其恢复土壤生产力和生态系统健康而采取的行动及干预措施。
因为对土地资本的管理将直接影响人类的生活和身体健康，所以该标准涵盖了构建良好规范时所必须考虑的各个议题，包括尊重人权、森林管理和农业规范、气候条件、工业活动等问题。
由于管理我们的土地资本直接影响到人类的生计和健康，因此这个标准涵盖了在建立良好的做法如尊重人权，森林管理和农业实践，气候条件和工业活动等方面必须考虑的各种议题，
ISO 14055-1将成为土地管理者、使用者、技术专家、私人和公共组织的有效工具，同时也将成为从生态、生产力、经济和社会目的而参与土地资源管理的政策制定者的有力工具。该项标准倡导人类活动做出根本性转变，以更加可持续的方式利用土地资源；旨在补充和支持
《联合国防治荒漠化公约》（UNCCD）的行动。
ISO 14055-1及其补充标准，（即未来的ISO / TR 14055-2，它将为《第一部分》内涉及的原则提供区域应用），将有助于实现联合国可持续发展目标的第十五条：保护、恢复和促进陆地生态系统的可持续利用。通过这些举措，我们希望在2030年之前达到实现“在世界范围内遏
制土地退化”这一目标。

Our consumption of the earth’s natural reserves has doubled in the last 30 years and a third of the planet’s land is now severely degraded. There is an urgent need to find solutions for land management policy, planning and practices.
A new ISO standard will help land managers at global and national scales put in place best practices to combat land degradation. The recently published ISO 14055-1:2017, Environmental management – Guidelines for establishing good practices for combatting land degradation and desertification – Part 1: Good practices framework, provides guidelines for developing good practices to combat land degradation and desertification in arid and non-arid regions.
The standard refers to actions or interventions undertaken with the purpose of preventing or minimizing land degradation or, where land is already degraded, aiding its recovery to improve productivity and ecosystem health.
Because managing our land-based capital impacts directly on human livelihood and health, the standard covers the various topics that must be considered when establishing good practices, such as the respect for human rights, forest management and agricultural practices, climate conditions and industrial activities, among others.
ISO 14055-1 will serve as a useful tool for land managers, land users, technical experts, and private and public organizations, as well as for policy makers involved in the management of land resources for ecological, productivity, economic or social purposes. It advocates a fundamental shift in behaviour towards a more sustainable use of land and is intended to complement and support the activities of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).
ISO 14055-1 and its complement, the future ISO/TR 14055-2, which provides regional applications of the principles in Part 1, will help to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15 for the protection, restoration and sustainable management of land-based ecosystems. In doing so, we can hope to reach a “land-degradation-neutral world” by the year 2030.
