Emerging issue for Africa

How to avoid contributing to climate change or help attenuate the problem?

How to adapt to a changing and variable climate ?

How to integrate resilience to climate variablity and change into development?

Les impacts des conflits armés sur la qualité de vie, la santé humaine et la diversité biologique en Afrique, Kinshasa, 26-29 mai 2008

L’environnement est devenu depuis quelques années une préoccupation importante en situation de conflit armé ou de catastrophes naturelles, et une partie du PNUE y est consacré.

Environmental Assessment of Armed Conflict has been going on for many years now, especially within « POST CONFLICT » context and even structured organisations such as UNEP-Post Conflict Branch

Management and Governance challenges

GOUVERNANCETOOLS

MONITORING OBSERVATORYTOOLS

COUNTRIESECOSYSTEM BASEDCHALLENGES

• Traditional Natural Resources Management strategies are being challenged while inability to cope with changing conditions lead rapidly to irreversible land degradation.

• Challenges have changed scales and new factors have compounded the issues: namely demographic growth, climate change, global trade rules and others.

• New threats and challenges cross national boundaries while still all requiring local-based actions or solutions.

• Emerging and growing national transboundary issues include urbanisation, migration, land use conflicts and resource-based potential conflicts.

• While there are many solutions at various scales, including local based initiatives, and numerous opportunities for developing drylands, two major issues need to be confronted now: – Developing resilience to climatic variability– Stopping irreversible losses of agricultural capabilities

by erosion (loss of soils)

• Both issues raise questions of the need for integrated MONITORING and GOVERNANCE

THANK YOU

• Drylands have given the World a profound contribution and legacy, notably the semi-nomadic and associated land tenure and land management practices and associated arts and cultures.

• Traditional ways of living were capable of coping with numerous vagaries of nature and resilience was the norm.

• Challenges have changed scales and new factors have compounded the issues: namely demographic growth, climate change, global trade rules and others.
