The Arid Lands Newsletter Home Page ISSN: 0277-9455 | E-ISSN: 1092-5481 Desertification and local resilience Both on the ecological and the policy level, it is increasingly recognized that desertification and climate change go hand in hand, and that actions taken to mitigate or adapt to the one phenomenon will also help address the other. The articles in this issue explore the nature of ecological tipping points and how climate change might help push ecosystems into irreversible change; how societies themselves can help avoid this by becoming more resilient, and a tool that can help them do so; how efforts at resiliency can be undertaken at a personal as well as a larger social level; and how ordinary citizens can participate in the development of tools to monitor and ultimately address climate change and other environmental issues.
