Deltas: What is at Risk?
To contribute to improved resilience of the
world’s deltas through:
Mission
•Sharing knowledge
•Identifying knowledge gaps
•Developing jointly new knowledge
•Reducing unnecessary overlap
•Building capacity
Delta Alliance Wings
1. Informing &
Brokerage 2. Compiling
Information
3. Network
Development
Activities international delta
alliance
• To make knowledge accessible and
applicable in deltas
• To integrate knowledge
• To reach out knowledge
• To deepen knowledge
• To identify knowledge gaps (international)
Light organisational structure
Delta Alliance Declaration The members of Delta Alliance will develop and share knowledge to:
•measure, monitor and report resilience
•provide for improved resilience
In pursuing these goals, members will strive to:
•share knowledge, expertise and best practices
•co-create and integrate knowledge across deltas and disciplines
•connect expertise and parties from throughout watersheds
•incorporate local knowledge
•support education, policy development, investments and disaster
response.
Way of working
• Dialogues between deltas, workshops
• Assessments, solutions,
• Exchange of best practices
• Deltas are willing to bring in their issues by
• Webinars (4 planned)
• Cocreation f.e. Adaptive Delta
Management
•
Knowledge sharing
•participation in international conferences and
workshops: keynotes, presentations,
•Pilots in deltas, sharing best practices
•delta-sessions between deltas, webinars
•Capacity building activities
•Newsletter/website

Synthesis report Work documents with Delta descriptions www.delta-alliance.org
Many delta stakeholders involved..
DPSIR + Spatial layers approach => indicators => delta scorecard (expert judgement
by local experts)
Delta descriptions (format)
Approach of comparative assessment
Governance
D-P-S-I-R Spatial layers
Framework for assessment
resilience/sustainability: ++ (very good), + (good), 0 (medium), - (low), -- (very low)
Comparative overview of Delta scorecards
For most of the deltas current resilience and sustainability is not satisfactory
Reasons differ per delta but some general mechanisms:
. Imbalance between demands and supply with regard to land and water use
. Inadequate or ageing infrastructure in the delta
. Disruption of the natural delta processes (reduced sediment supply)
. Inadequate governance to address problems and implement solutions
