OUR OBJECTIVE

The dissemination of good practices to combat climate change and the risk of desertification is a strategic objective of the Desert-Adapt project. Making a sustainable climate adaptation land management plan is of fundamental importance in areas at risk of desertification to recover the quality of their land, to increase ecosystem resistance and resilience to climate change, to increase ecosystem quality and productivity.

WHO CAN BE A REPLICATOR 

Public bodies, companies, institutions, citizens who manage portions of territory and who care about the sustainability of their land by sharing our principles of sustainable management, reported in the Desert-Adapt MANIFESTO

HOW TO Replicate? The project shared the material used with its partners to build their Adaptation plans (DAM), the replication toolkit.

The REPLICATION TOOLKIT is a set of documents made available to replicators to help them to create their own sustainable adaptive land management plan which we call Desertification Adaptation Model (DAM).

The REPLICATION TOOLKIT includes:

• The Manifesto: the declaration of the key principles which drive Desert-Adapt sustainable actions, basically the vision we share
• The General Guidelines: a brief explanation of the objectives of sustainable land management in areas at climate and desertification risk, criteria and explanations at the basis of a Desertification Adaptation Model DAM that can help you to make your chices
• The list of land functions you can attribute to your land, they are environmental, economic and social functions (Annex to Guidelines)
• The list of plant species, natural and commercial, most adapted to mediterranean areas that you can use in your land
• The list of Adaptation Measures you can apply in your land

NO obligations: The replicators will develop their planned activities without any obligation on the basis of their possibilities.

Replicators are considered an integral part of the Desert-Adapt network and can join the dissemination and communication activities developed by the project any time. They will be included in the dedicated project webpage to show their activities for more visibility and might also publicize products and services resulted from their sustainable implementing activity on our website sharing our LOGO once their plan is set in place.
