Figure 4.1. Key Desertification-related Findings of the MA Scenarios

Rates of change in the extent of desertified areas in the drylands: Solid lines indicate the best case; dashed lines indicate the worst case for desertification in each of the MA scenarios.

Scenarios:	Globalized		Regionalized
	Reactive	Proactive	Reactive	Proactive
	Global Orchestration	TechnoGarden	Order from Strength	Adapting Mosaic
Desertification trends:
worst case best case
Pressure exerted by 3 desertification factors:
Irrigation	decreasing	increasing	increasing	remaining the same
Poverty	decreasing	increasing	strongly increasing	increasing	remaining the same
Climate Change	strongly increasing	remaining the same	strongly increasing	increasing
