Disaster risk reduction in school curricula: case studies from thirty countries
The Mediterranean region under climate change
Author: Collectif
Publisher: IRD Éditions
ISBN: 2709922207
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 736
Book Description
This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.

Aperçu régional de l’état de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition - Proche-Orient et Afrique du Nord
Author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251314020
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : fr
Pages : 84
Book Description
L’Aperçu régional de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition au Proche-Orient et en Afrique du Nord fournit de nouvelles données qui permettent de surveiller les tendances de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le cadre du Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030. L’analyse approfondie des progrès réalisés dans l'objectif de développement durable 2, cible 2.1 (éliminer la faim et garantir l’accès de tous à la nourriture) et cible 2.2 (éliminer toutes les formes de malnutrition), ainsi que l’état des carences en micronutriments, est complétée par une révision des politiques de transformation rurale visant à faire face aux problèmes d’insécurité alimentaire et de nutrition. Les estimations mises à jour indiquent que la situation de la sécurité alimentaire dans la région continue de se dégrader depuis 2011-2013. Au Proche-Orient et en Afrique du Nord, 11% de la population de la région, soit 50,2 millions d’individus, est sous-alimentée. Les conclusions du rapport ont montré que l’impossibilité de réduire la faim dans la région est étroitement liée à la multiplication des conflits et de la violence dans plusieurs zones de la région, comme le soulignait également l’édition de l’année dernière. Alors que la prévalence de la sous-alimentation est passée de 23% à 26% dans les pays en conflit depuis 2011-2013, elle est restée stable à environ 5% dans les pays non en conflit. Le rapport de cette année explore davantage la relation entre insécurité alimentaire, croissance économique et transformation rurale. Il dévoile que la croissance économique dans la région du Proche-Orient et de l’Afrique du Nord (NENA) a été lente par rapport à d’autres régions et suggère que la transformation rurale peut améliorer les taux de croissance et créer des emplois décents en renforçant les liens entre zones rurales et urbaines, en améliorant la productivité agricole et en développant l’économie rurale non agricole.

The Forests of the Congo Basin

ISBN:
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.

Book Description
Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Inclusion and Resilience
Author: Joana Silva
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821397710
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Inclusion and Resilience has two broad objectives. The study seeks first to enhance knowledge about the current state of existing social safety nets (SSNs) in the Middle East and North Africa, assessing their effectiveness by bringing together new evidence, data, and country-specific analysis. Second, it proposes an open and informed debate on feasible policy options for making SSNs more effective and responsive to the population's needs. In order to do this, the authors illustrate how the main goals for SSNs-promoting social inclusion, better livelihood, and resilience to shocks-have already been achieved in some parts of the region, notwithstanding huge challenges. They also identify the groups that regional SSNs should make a priority: children and people living in rural and lagging areas. The study relies on newly collected data on citizens' preferences concerning redistribution and SSN design, discussing how political economy considerations could be taken into account in designing better SSNs, and proposing an agenda for reform, using global experiences and the new evidence presented in the book itself.
