Download or read book Le paradoxe environnemental written by Jean-Luc Roques and published by EME Editions. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les principes de prévention, de précaution ou de participation, le développement durable, les énergies renouvelables, le tri sélectif, la taxe carbone, l'éco-innovation, voilà quelques terminologies qui devraient nous rassurer. Or, que constatons-nous ? Nous restons toujours immergés dans un univers de catastrophes, de pollutions, de déchets. Le constat de départ est donc assez paradoxal. Pourquoi, malgré les catastrophes environnementales et humaines qui se multiplient et auxquelles tout le monde peut être confronté, rien ne semble se modifier ou si peu ?...

Download or read book Le Changement climatique written by Helga-Jane Scarwell and published by Presses Univ. Septentrion. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'irruption de la planète dans notre vision du monde fait voler en éclat cloisons et certitudes tout en imposant sa finitude. Le territoire n'est plus le refuge d'un équilibre local mais il éclate aux dimensions du monde. Et, en même temps, l'avenir s’impose dans le présent qui ne peut plus se construire indépendamment d’une vision prospective sur notre « common futur » que les générations futures, chères au développement durable, auront à construire. C’est tout le paradoxe de cette nouvelle vision du monde condamnée à faire plus et mieux avec sobriété.

Download or read book Home Grown Initiatives and Nation Building in Africa written by Tharcisse Gatwa and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2023-02-16 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes a number of Rwandan post-genocide initiatives aiming at developing a common sense of identity in the population and addressing social, cultural and economic issues. This proactive approach indicates the will of the Rwandan government with the cooperation of social actors to resort to traditional - and in some cases precolonial - cultural practices to resolve the problems of nation-building. The essays are well documented; many of them based on empirical studies.
Download or read book Weathering uncertainty written by UNESCO and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This UNESCO report looks into the damaging effects of climate change on Indigenous cultures. When considering climate change, indigenous peoples and marginalized populations warrant particular attention. Impacts on their territories and communities are anticipated to be both early and severe due to their location in vulnerable environments, including small islands, high-altitude zones, desert margins and the circumpolar Arctic. Indeed, climate change poses a direct threat to many indigenous societies due to their continuing reliance upon resource-based livelihoods. Heightened exposure to negative impacts, however, is not the only reason for specific attention and concern. As many indigenous societies are socially and culturally distinct from mainstream society, decisions, policies and actions undertaken by the majority, even if well-intended, may prove inadequate, ill-adapted, and even inappropriate. There is therefore a need to understand the specific vulnerabilities, concerns, adaptation capacities and longer-term aspirations of indigenous peoples and marginalized communities throughout the world. Indigenous and traditional knowledge contribute to this broader understanding.
Download or read book Childrens Agency and Development in African Societies written by Yaw Ofosu-Kus and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on African childhood and youth within the context of development and socialization where children are expected to be moulded in the image of adults. In many African societies children are generally held as passive bearers of the demands of adults, regardless of the fact that they are often exposed to a multitude of challenges that originate from the capriciousness of those adults. However, buoyed by international conventions and national legislations that offer them greater protection, and the ubiquitous internet that exposes them to childhood and youth experiences elsewhere, many of them are increasingly becoming assertive in homes, schools, and communities as well as re-invigorating their survival and self-preservation instincts. It is in this regard that this book, through the various chapters, engages with their competencies, skills and creativity to respond to experiential challenges as independent migrants or ones under coercion working in city streets and markets or cocoa farms or juggling work and schooling in pursuit of some education. Confronted with their parents and siblings health predicaments and the inadequacies of state and familial care, or urgent negotiation of their sexualities, they demonstrate incredible resilience. Similarly, their perceptiveness is demonstrated in a unique appreciation of politics and its actors and a capacity to assume responsibilities beyond their chronological age. Thus while highlighting some of the challenges confronting African children, the book provides gripping evidence of how they resiliently negotiate those challenges.

Download or read book Le climat qui cache la for t written by Guillaume Sainteny and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La priorité accordée aujourd’hui au climat par les Etats, les ONG, les médias, est-elle justifiée ? Sa place dans les politiques environnementales n’est-elle pas excessive ? Soulever cette simple question apparaît, en soi, iconoclaste, dégage un parfum de scandale et s’apparente à une démarche politiquement incorrecte, tant il semble communément admis que « la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique » constitue la mère de toutes les batailles environnementales. Entendons-nous bien : des milliers d’études scientifiques ont mis en évidence un phénomène de changement climatique. Toutefois, cette question a pris, depuis les années 1990, une importance telle qu’elle en vient non seulement à dominer les politiques environnementales, mais aussi à les escamoter voire à leur nuire. Or, si le changement climatique constitue incontestablement un enjeu environnemental majeur, il n’apparaît pas plus important que la pollution de l’air, la pollution de l’eau, l’érosion de la biodiversité voire la dégradation des sols. Guillaume Sainteny le démontre en comparant, par exemple, le nombre de décès prématurés dus à ces phénomènes, leurs coûts économiques ou encore la hiérarchie des constats et recommandations des grandes organisations internationales.
