Book Description
Depuis une quinzaine d'années, des inondations catastrophiques causant de nombreuses victimes et des centaines de millions d'euros de dégâts ont affecté la France méditerranéenne : 11 morts à Nîmes en 1988, 42 dans le Vaucluse en 1992, 35 dans l'Aude et ses départements voisins en 1999 et 24 dans le Gard en 2002. Chaque fois se reproduit le même scénario d'endommagement, se diffusent les mêmes images de désolation, surgissent les mêmes polémiques. Cet ouvrage fait le bilan des crues torrentielles qui ont dévasté l'Aude, le Tarn, les Pyrénées-Orientales et l'Hérault les 12 et 13 novembre 1999. La description de ces épisodes diluviens sert de prétexte à l'exposé détaillé des causes météorologiques et des manifestations hydrologiques des crues automnales méditerranéennes. Au-delà des causes physiques, l'auteur pointe le doigt sur les responsabilités humaines dans l'augmentation récente des dommages liés aux risques " naturels ". L'approche cartographique, souvent négligée dans les rapports de retour d'expériences consécutifs aux catastrophes hydrologiques, a été privilégiée. Enfin, le dernier chapitre aborde les progrès récents en matière de prévention du risque d'inondation en France tout en stigmatisant les insuffisances notamment en matière de contrôle d'occupation du sol ou d'alerte aux populations, particulièrement défaillante dans l'Aude en 1999 et dans le Gard en 2002. L'auteur tente de montrer que la gestion des risques naturels doit se concevoir comme un projet social concerté impliquant la responsabilisation de tous les acteurs de la société, depuis l'Etat jusqu'aux citoyens en passant par les experts, les assureurs et les élus.

The Mediterranean region under climate change

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.

Book Description
This book serves the purpose of showcasing some of the works in respect of applied research, field projects, and best practice to foster climate change adaptation across the region. Climate change is having a much greater impact in the Mediterranean than the global average. In the Paris Climate Agreement, the UN member states pledged to stop global warming at well below two degrees, if possible at 1.5 degrees. This mark, which is expected elsewhere only for 2030 to 2050, has already been reached in the region. The situation could worsen in the coming years if the global community does not limit its emissions. The above state of affairs illustrates the need for a better and more holistic understanding of how climate change affects countries in the Mediterranean region on the one hand, but also on the many problems it faces on the other, which prevent adaptation efforts. There is also a perceived need to showcase successful examples of how to duly address and manage the many social, economic, and political problems posed by climate change in the region, in order to replicate and even upscale the successful approaches used. It is against this background that the book "Climate Change in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Region" has been produced. It contains papers prepared by scholars, practitioners, and members of governmental agencies, undertaking research and/or executing climate change projects, and working across the region.

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.
