The World Atlas of Desertification assessment concept for conscious land use solutions
The assessment concept that has been outlined for the compilation of the new World Atlas of Desertification (WAD) confronts this complexity by converging evidence of stress on the land system caused by various issues. Preventing judgement on the complex status of ‘land degradation’ the WAD opens the way to a positive approach to deal with the problem, providing also helpful evidence for stakeholders to design more conscious solutions for land use.
