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.
