WASCAL: A Climate Service Center Devising resilient and productive land uses through capacity building, research and services provision Mouhamadou Bamba SYLLA, Senior scientist climate change and climate modeling WASCAL Competence Center, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Training and Capacity building Three pillars of WASCAL Services Provision ● Climate ● Environmental Research ● Climate science ● Biophysical & socioeconomic studies ● GIS & Remote sensing ● Data infrastructure Training and Capacity building ● Graduate studies ● In-house training ● Capacity strengthening

Research structure Climate and environmental services ● RC1: Climate Change and Variability ● RC2: Hydrology and Water Resources Management ● RC3: Sustainable Land Use and Agriculture ● RC4: Institutions, Governance and Socio-economics ● RC5: Ecosystem Change and Ecosystem Services ● RC6: Impact Analysis and Risk Assessment. ● Observation network ● GIS and Remote Sensing Unit ● Data Centre ● HPC environment Climate and environmental services

New strategic research plan (2018-2021) Outcomes of the participatory consultations in ECOWAS member states - CoA 1.1 Climate Services for Informed Decision Making - CoA 1.2 Environmental Services for Improved and Productive Land Use Systems FP1. Services Provision - CoA 2.1 Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services - CoA 2.2 Scaling up/out Resilient Governance Models FP2. Resilient Socio-Ecological Landscapes WASCAL Multidisciplinary Observation Networks and Multi-stakeholders Innovation Platforms across West Africa - CoA 3.1 Scaling up/out Improved Water and Nutrient Use Efficiency Practices - CoA 3.2 Scaling up/out Integrated Crop and Livestock Production Systems FP3. Sustainable Intensification for Food Security - CoA 4.1 Climate Monitoring and Prediction - CoA 4.2 Improved Seasonal Forecasting of Extremes FP4. Climate Modelling and Seasonal Forecasting

Pathway to service delivery By 2021: Climate and Environmental Services WASCAL Research Action Plan 2017-2021 ● Resilient Socio-Ecological Landscapes ● Sustainable Intensification for Food Security ● Climate Modelling and Seasonal Forecasting WASCAL Core Research Program: 2013-2017

Potential climate-led services ● Seasonal monitoring of water bodies and wet land ● Information on climate and environmental risks ● Climate change profile, irrigation potential and crop suitability under 1.5 o C and 2 o C warming scenarios ● Land degradation index map and the economic cost of degraded lands ● West Africa Climate Change Knowledge Dissemination Platform ● Biodiversity and carbon stocks profile under climate change scenarios
