Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Où en est l'éducation à l'environnement en Afrique depuis le premier Sommet sur le développement durable à Stockholm, en 1972, et celui de Rio, en 1992 ? Le dynamisme démographique de l'Afrique et la venue de nouveaux consommateurs sur le marché imposent plusieurs défis au continent, à commencer par la maîtrise de la gestion des ordures ménagères. Mais le continent a-t-il les moyens de relever le défi de la préservation de la planète, qui passe nécessairement par l'éducation à l'environnement ?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les conséquences imprévisibles de la pollution (réchauffement des glaciers, inondation, effritement de la couche d'ozone, élévation du niveau des océans) dues à la croissance du rejet des gaz, de la déforestationont favorisé l'émergence du concept du développement durable. Face à cette mise en danger de la planète, le progrès économique doit non seulement rechercher la satisfaction des besoins présents, mais intégrer les préoccupations des générations futures. La sauvegarde de cette solidarité intergénérationnelle nécessite une action commune ; sinon les efforts des uns (protecteurs) seront annulés par le laxisme des autres (pollueurs). Déjà fragilisée par la pauvreté, les conflits, la famine, la désertification, l'Afrique n'est pas moins sollicitée que les autres régions du monde. Représentant 2% des échanges mondiaux, l'Afrique sous ajustement structurel a adopté le libéralisme et ses Etats achèvent le processus de privatisation des entreprises publiques. Mais, qu'il s'agisse de la représentation spatiale, de la gestion foncière , de l'agriculture, de la justice, de l'éducation ou de la gouvernance, la Culture africaine concilie difficilement ses traditions avec la modernité. Si la création, la promotion et la gestion des ressources naturelles et humaines ne sont guère satisfaisantes en Afrique, c'est parce que le processus du développement est mis à mal par des obstacles exogènes et endogènes. En revanche, l'inventivité des populations, seul gage de leur survie, attend un soutien international à la mesure du défi de la renaissance africaine en élaboration. Mais l'Occident ne saisit pas assez que dans un monde sans frontière, la solidarité est l'intérêt bien partagé car, si l'Afrique continue à endurer d'aussi lamentables privatisations, il ne sera guère en sécurité dans son opulence.

This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Afrique représente 17 % de la population mondiale et est responsable d'à peine 4 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, à l'échelle de la planète. C'est aussi la région qui souffre le plus des conséquences du réchauffement climatique. Ce paradoxe tend à minorer le rôle que jouent les hommes et femmes de médias, en matière de sensibilisation, d'information et de communication sur le climat. Cet essai, qui va bien au-delà de l'implication des médias d'Afrique pour l'urgence climatique, aborde également les questions liées au développement durable : la place du livre et de la culture, la coopération internationale avec les enjeux de l'aide publique au développement, les interactions entre cette aide et le développement.

Download or read book Environment and Development in Africa written by Sam Stuart and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environment and Development in Africa is a two-part book that first attempts to weave together a set of forecasts as realistically as possible and in a certain sense constitutes the scheme of future trends in the environment and development in Africa. The second part investigates three kinds of "eventualities." Scenario 1 looks at dependent growth and environmental misuse. The second scenario is based on the hypothesis that Africa will have greater autonomy in growth or development. This situation will afford greater room for maneuver within which environmental considerations may find their place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre explique le passage de la notion d’écologie à celle d’environnement et présente l’état actuel de l’éducation relative à l’environnement (EE) dans le monde et plus particulièrement son évolution au cours de la dernière décennie. Tous les enseignants, parents et décideurs étant concernés par l’EE, quelles sont donc les connaissances scientifiques de base que doit posséder un bon éducateur pour bien s’acquitter de sa tâche ? Les conditions de vie, l’environnement naturel, les systèmes écologiques, l’environnement urbain, social, familial ainsi que le patrimoine et l’environnement culturels sont illustrés par des exemples simples tirés de la vie quotidienne et de l’entourage immédiat de chacun. Les principaux problèmes de l’environnement, leurs causes et leurs conséquences sont largement présentés et expliqués simplement. Étant interdisciplinaire, l’EE a des programmes spécifiques ; ses buts et ses contenus sont décrits, aux différents niveaux, de même que le matériel et les moyens éducatifs, les activités extrascolaires et les campagnes d’information du public. La formation et les qualités des formateurs comme celles du personnel enseignant en EE et les problèmes posés par le recyclage de ce personnel sont autant de points traités dans cet ouvrage.

Download or read book Crisis and Opportunity written by Francois Falloux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Prix Pierre Chauleur of the French Academie des Sciences d'Outre-Mer Until some way is found of dealing with Africa's catastrophic environmental crises none of the continent's other problems will find a long-term solution. Yet there is hope, and Crisis and Opportunity sets out a programme for dealing with the problems successfully. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book shows how environmental management can be achieved and institutionalized from within Africa, rather than through interference from the West, by implementing National Environmental Action Plans (NEAPS). Aware of the urgency of the problems, Francois Falloux and Lee Talbot offer practical guidelines based on direct experience and incorporate a great range of relevant case studies and examples. Their book will be of enormous importance to the governments, local communities and development agencies confronting the issues, and may mark a milestone if recovery in Africa is to take place. Francois Falloux is Senior Environmental Advisor, Africa Region at the World Bank. Dr Lee M Talbot is a former Director-General of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Originally published in 1993

Download or read book From Urban National Parks to Natured Cities in the Global South written by Frédéric Landy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important volume focuses on the sensitive issue of interrelationships between national parks situated near or within urban areas and their urban environment. It engages with both urban and conservation issues and and compares four national parks located in four large cities in the global South: Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Mumbai, and Nairobi. Though primarily undertaken as academic research, the project has intensively collaborated with the institutions in charge of these parks. The comparative structure of this volume is also original and unique: each of the chapters incorporates insight from all four sites as far as possible.The term “naturbanity” expresses the necessity for cities endowed with a national park to integrate it into their functioning. Conversely, such parks must take into account their location in an urban environment, both as a source of heavy pressures on nature and as a nexus of incentives to support their conservation. The principle of non-exclusivity, that is, neither the city nor the park has a right nor even the possibility to negate the other’s presence, summarizes the main argument of this book. Naturbanity thus blurs the old “modern” dichotomy of nature/culture: animals and human beings can often jump the physical and ideological walls separating many parks from the adjacent city. The 13 chapters and substantive introduction of this volume discuss various aspects of naturbanity: the histories of park creation; interaction between people and parks; urban governance and parks; urban conservation models; wildlife management; environmental education; and so on. This is a must-read for students and researchers interested in social ecology, social geography, conservation, urban planning and ecological policy.
