1 DESIRE Desertification mitigation and remediation of land - A global approach for local solutions - Coen Ritsema, Violette Geissen on behalf of the DESIRE consortium
2 DESIRE background DESIRE is an Integrated Project funded by EU (FP6), and co-funded by 5 national governments The DESIRE consortium consists of 26 partners from around the world with different Backgrounds (universities, research institutes, NGOs, SMEs, governments) Expertises (earth science. geography, ecology, hydrology, soil science, land use planning, eco-engineering, economy, policy, and communication sciences) Facilities (GIS, RS, experimental farms, laboratories, simulation models, knowledge and database platforms) Approaches (technical, social, political, economic, participatory)
3 Scientific contributions - DESIRE objectives Main aims are: 1. To develop and test promising land use and management strategies to prevent and remediate desertification and land degradation in 18 hotspot areas around the world in close cooperation with local stakeholders, and 2. To disseminate results to different fora, amongst others using a web-based harmonized information system
4 Scientific contributions - DESIRE objectives Basically DESIRE intends to achieve Scientific innovation (> 30 PhD students) Impact and outreach at different levels
5 Scientific contributions - DESIRE approach Different sites, different problems
6 Scientific contributions - DESIRE approach DESIRE is built among six Working Blocks WB1 Mapping the state of degradation/ desertification WB2 Mapping the risk of degradation/ desertification WB3 Selecting promising prevention and remediation strategies WB4 Testing strategies WB6 Disseminating project results WB5 Regional assessment of strategies
7 Scientific contributions - DESIRE WB1 Scientific innovation of WB1 consists of mapping all study sites regarding the state of degradation / desertification using an updated and improved LADA-WOCAT mapping procedure (Source:
8 Scientific contributions - DESIRE WB2 Scientific innovation of WB2 relates to the development of an extended indicator-based analysis tool providing maps of desertification risk for each study site
9 Scientific contributions - DESIRE WB3 Scientific innovation of WB3 relates to the development and application of a participatory planning process to identify, document and prioritize soil and water conservation strategies with stakeholders using the WOCAT methodology (Source: Gudrun Schwilch)
10 Scientific contributions - DESIRE WB4 Scientific innovation of WB4 relates to execution of field trials to test and evaluate the biophysical and socio-economic effects of prevention and remediation measures selected by the stakeholders in the study sites
11 Scientific contributions - DESIRE WB5 Scientific innovation of WB5 links to coupling a multi-scale biophysical model with a robust economic module to evaluate the efficacy of prevention and remediation measures on the wider spatial scale, including related costs/benefits for land users (Source: UL)
12 Scientific contributions DESIRE WB6 Scientific innovation of WB6 relates to disseminate project results using a state-of-the-art web-based harmonized information system providing information at different levels of complexity for a wide range of end-users
13 Scientific contributions - DESIRE output Scientific results presented in around 30 PhD studies, 3 DESIRE Special issues in international scientific journals, numerous other papers, and an overarching book presenting the DESIRE methodology and options for SLM in drylands
14 Scientific contributions - DESIRE output Besides scientific output, DESIRE envisions to achieve other impact and outreach also Local/regional : Wide knowledge about DESIRE and its results in study sites and beyond, a.o. through series of stakeholder meetings National : : Advise UNCCD national focal points how to adapt/improve NAPs according to stakeholder needs Initiating proposals with national focal points, governments, and private investors for wide-scale implementation (GEF, IFAD, UNEP, etc.)
15 Scientific contributions - DESIRE output Envisioned impact and outreach International : General public : Promote the LADA-WOCAT-DESIRE methodology at the UNCCD level as a tool to contribute to achieving aims of the 10-year Strategic Plan Disseminate results to other dryland areas around the world, a.o. by preparing books, videos, leaflets, instruction tools etc.
16 The way forward If we really like to make a change on the ground it would be good to Start working on facilitating large scale demonstration and implementation of measures across the DESIRE study sites Apply the DESIRE methodology in other affected areas around the world also, and Use the DESIRE approach to derive solutions for other soil threats too, as mentioned in the EU Soil Thematic Strategy
