Book Description
Thèse de Master de l'année 2020 dans le domaine Histoire - Histoire globale - Histoire moderne, note: 15/20, cours: Histoire, langue: Français, résumé Notre recherche centrée sur les questions des changements climatiques est intitulée "Le Cameroun et la Convention-Cadre des Nations Unies sur les Changements Climatiques 1992-2015". Cette étude est une analyse de la politique climatique du Cameroun à l'échelle nationale et internationale tout en questionnant l'effectivité de la mise en oeuvre de la Convention Cadre des Nations Unies sur les Changements Climatiques au Cameroun. Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à une approche chronologique, dans une analyse systémique imposant inter et transdisciplinarité pour examiner de manière critique des sources et informations recueillies. Cela a permis de rendre compte des actions menées par le Cameroun en matière de lutte et d'atténuation des changements climatiques ainsi qu'aux capacités du pays à s'adapter aux effets néfastes de ce phénomène, qui affichent un tableau mitigé. Cela se manifeste par des réalisations conséquentes observées sur les plans juridique et institutionnel et des multiples projets et programmes initiés. Ces illustrations démontrent l'attachement du pays à la cause climatique. De ce problème s'est dégagé l'hypothèse suivante: la mise en oeuvre de la CCNUCC est effective au Cameroun. Toutefois, le pays connaît quelques difficultés liées à la gouvernance, la corruption, le manque de ressources techniques et financières qui handicapent et limitent l'action du Cameroun auxquelles il est nécessaire d'apporter des améliorations. Cependant, pour pallier à ces obstacles, le renforcement des capacités des différents acteurs et la prise en compte les changements climatiques dans les politiques de développement sont des préalables pour l'atténuation, la résilience et l'adaptation du Cameroun aux corollaires du changement climatique.

The United Nations World Water Development Report 2020
Author: UNESCO
Publisher:
ISBN: 9210050002
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The 2020 edition of the WWDR, titled Water and Climate Change illustrates the critical linkages between water and climate change in the context of the broader sustainable development agenda. Supported by examples from across the world, it describes both the challenges and opportunities created by climate change, and provides potential responses – in terms of adaptation, mitigation and improved resilience – that can be undertaken by enhancing water resources management, attenuating water-related risks, and improving access to water supply and sanitation services for all in a sustainable manner. It addresses the interrelations between water, people, environment and economics in a changing climate, demonstrating how climate change can be a positive catalyst for improved water management, governance and financing to achieve a sustainable and prosperous world for all. The report provides a fact-based, water-focused contribution to the knowledge base on climate change. It is complementary to existing scientific assessments and designed to support international political frameworks, with the goals of helping the water community tackle the challenges of climate change, and informing the climate change community about the opportunities that improved water management offers in terms of adaptation and mitigation.

The Forests of the Congo Basin

Category : Forest conservation
Languages : en
Pages : 556
Book Description
The 2010 State of the Forest report (SOF) benefited from financial support from the European Union, the United States, Germany, France and UNESCO. It represents the collaborative effort of over 100 individuals from a diversity of institutions and the forestry administrations of the Central African countries. The SOF process began with the selection and definition of indicators relevant to monitoring the state of forests in Central Africa. The indicators are structured around three thematic areas: (i) forest cover; (ii) management of production forests; and (iii) conservation and biodiversity. They are presented in a hierarchical structure at the regional, national and management unit (i.e. logging concessions and protected areas) levels. The indicators were vetted by a representative panel of stakeholders of forest management in Central Africa. The indicators are used to guide an annual data collection process carried out between April and August by national groups of four to ten individuals working within the forestry administrations. The data reported on in the 2010 SOF were primarily collected in 2009 and 2010. Results were validated in national workshops attended by government officials as well as representatives of environmental NGOs, the private sector and development projects. The data provided an important basis for the authors of the 11 chapters of the 2010 SOF, which were under the coordination of a scientific committee of international renown. A final workshop was held 29-30 March, 2011 in Douala to review a draft report. Following amendments based on comments from a wide audience of experts the final layout was completed.

Pastoralism and Socio-technological Transformations in Northern Benin
Author: Georges Djohy
Publisher: Göttingen University Press
ISBN: 3863953460
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Pastoralists throughout Africa face increasing pressures. In Benin, governmental development policies and programmes in crop farming are changing power relations between herders and farmers to favour the latter. How are the Fulani pastoralists responding to these threats to their existence? Georges Djohy explores the dynamics in local use of natural resources and in inter-ethnic relations resulting from development interventions. He combines the approaches of science and technology studies – looking at the co-construction of society and technology – and political ecology – looking at the power relations shaping the dynamics of economic, environmental and social change – so as to throw light on the forces of marginalisation, adaptation and innovation at work in northern Benin. Having worked there for many years, Djohy has been able to uncover gradual processes of socio-technological change that are happening “behind the scenes” of agricultural development involving mechanisation, herbicide use, tree planting, land registration and natural resource conservation. He reveals how farmers are using these interventions as “weapons” in order to gain more rights over larger areas of land, in other words, to support indigenous land grabbing from herders who had been using the land since decades for grazing. He documents how the Fulani are innovating to ensure their survival, e.g. by using new technologies for transport and communication, developing new strategies of livestock feeding and herd movement, and developing complementary sources of household income. The Fulani are organising themselves from local to national level to provide technological and socio-cultural services, manage conflicts and gain a stronger political voice, e.g. to be able to achieve demarcation of corridors for moving livestock through cultivated areas. They even use non-functioning mini-dairies – another example of development intervention – to demonstrate their modernity and to open up other opportunities to transform their pastoral systems. This book provides insights into normally hidden technical and social dynamics that are unexpected outcomes of development interventions.

Tropical Rainforest Responses to Climatic Change
Author: Mark B. Bush
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540239081
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
The goal of this book is to provide a current overview of the impacts of climate change on tropical forests, to investigate past, present, and future climatic influences on the ecosystems with the highest biodiversity on the planet.Tropical Rainforest Responses to Climatic Change will be the first book to examine how tropical rain forest ecology is altered by climate change, rather than simply seeing how plant communities were altered. Shifting the emphasis onto ecological processes e.g. how diversity is structured by climate and the subsequent impact on tropical forest ecology, provides the reader with a more comprehensive coverage. A major theme of this book that emerges progressively is the interaction between humans, climate and forest ecology. While numerous books have appeared dealing with forest fragmentation and conservation, none have explicitly explored the long term occupation of tropical systems, the influence of fire and the future climatic effects of deforestation, coupled with anthropogenic emissions. Incorporating modelling of past and future systems paves the way for a discussion of conservation from a climatic perspective, rather than the usual plea to stop logging.
