. Land degradation impacts the health and livelihoods of about 1.5 billionpeople worldwide. Given that the state of the environment and food securityare strongly interlinked in tropical landscapes, the increasing need for landfor food production, urbanization and other uses poses several threats tosustainability in the long term. This paper demonstrates the integration ofland and soil health maps with socioeconomic datasets into an online,open-access platform called the Resilience Diagnostic and Decision SupportTool for Turkana County in Kenya, using the Stakeholder Approach to RiskInformed and Evidence Based Decision Making (SHARED) methodology. The paperhighlights the utility of spatial assessments of soil organic carbon (SOC)for monitoring land degradation neutrality (LDN) compliance, understandingthe drivers of SOC dynamics and inclusion of these in stakeholderdecision-making. The main objectives of this paper were to (1) demonstratethe application of a systematic approach for land health assessments,including spatial mapping of soil organic carbon; (2) show an operationalinterdisciplinary framework for assessing ecosystem health and (3) showcasethe application of evidence-based tools for stakeholder engagement using theSHARED approach. Through the approaches and tools presented, the paperaddresses the increasing need for more integrated approaches when assessingand managing ecosystem health to meet the targets of the 2030 Agenda,including Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.3. In addition to systematicand reliable biophysical and socioeconomic assessments, stakeholderengagement with evidence is crucial to support such integrated approaches.
