Cartographier la vulnérabilité aux variations climatiques : une méta-analyse en Afrique
CIFOR, Bogor, IndonesiaLa variabilitĂ© climatique a toujours affectĂ© la sociĂ©tĂ© et le changement climatique anthropique constitue un dĂ©fi supplĂ©mentaire pour les populations et leurs activitĂ©s, en particulier en Afrique. Parmi les diffĂ©rents outils disponibles pour l'Ă©valuation de la vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© de la sociĂ©tĂ© aux variations climatiques, l'utilisation d'indices quantifiĂ©s de vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© et leur cartographie se sont particuliĂšrement dĂ©veloppĂ©es ces derniĂšres annĂ©es. L'objectif de ce document est de passer en revue des cartes de vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© Ă l'Ă©chelle du continent africain afin de rĂ©pondre aux questions suivantes : parmi la diversitĂ© des indices et des cartes de vulnĂ©rabilitĂ©, est-il possible de distinguer des groupes prĂ©sentant des traits communs, par exemple identifiant les mĂȘmes zones fortement vulnĂ©rables ? Comment expliquer les diffĂ©rences entre les cartes ? OĂč se trouvent les zones les plus vulnĂ©rables en Afrique selon chaque groupe de cartes ? Ă partir de l'analyse de 23 indices, nous avons dĂ©gagĂ© quatre groupes d'indices corrĂ©lĂ©s. Chaque groupe fournit une image diffĂ©rente de la vulnĂ©rabilitĂ©, orientĂ©e vers la pauvretĂ© et la dĂ©pendance Ă l'agriculture, vers la densitĂ© de la population, vers la richesse et les capitaux non agricoles ou vers les failles de gouvernance. Les zones les plus vulnĂ©rables varient selon les groupes, qui vĂ©hiculent des messages contrastĂ©s sur les prioritĂ©s d'adaptation. Les contrastes entre ces groupes s'expliquent par les diffĂ©rentes conceptualisations de la vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© et les diffĂ©rentes mĂ©thodes d'Ă©valuation, y compris le choix des indicateurs. Les divergences sur la localisation des zones fortement vulnĂ©rables montrent les difficultĂ©s dans l'utilisation des cartes pour les dĂ©cisions politiques. Il est important que les dĂ©cideurs identifient clairement les prĂ©supposĂ©s de chaque indice et apprĂ©hendent la diversitĂ© des indices et leurs rĂ©sultats

Formulation of a Robust National Rural Sector Program in Burkina Faso: What new themes have emerged from the socio-economic and climate scenarios process?
Under the partnership initiated in 2015 between the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the Permanent Secretariat for Coordination of Agricultural Sector Policies (SP-CPSA), in collaboration with other CGIAR research programs and centers, an analysis of the National Rural Sector Program (PNSR) based on the CCAFS socio-economic and climate scenarios was conducted with the effective participation of rural sector stakeholders in Burkina Faso. Twenty-two (22) recommendations were made to allow for the effective mainstreaming of plausible socio-economic, environmental and climatic factors in the near and distant future, that will make PNSR II more robust to face future uncertainties related to climate change, global dynamics, socio-economic changes, changes in norms and values, etc. In addition, an exercise with all the stakeholders helped in translating the said recommendations into new actions and themes to be taken into account when formulating PNSR II. Discussions between the stakeholders also underscored the need for crosscutting involvement of research in the implementation of the activities of PNSR II
Formulation dâun Programme National du Secteur Rural robuste au Burkina Faso : Quelles thĂ©matiques nouvelles issues du processus des scĂ©narios socio- Ă©conomiques et climatiques?
Dans le cadre du partenariat initié en 2015 entre le
Programme de recherche du CGIAR sur le Changement
Climatique, lâAgriculture et la SĂ©curitĂ© Alimentaire
(CCAFS) et le Secrétariat Permanent de la Coordination
des Politiques Sectorielles Agricoles (SP-CPSA), en
collaboration avec dâautres programmes et centres de
recherche du CGIAR, une analyse du Programme
National du Secteur Rural (PNSR) fondée sur les
scénarios socio-économiques et climatiques du CCAFS a
pu ĂȘtre menĂ©e avec la participation effective des parties
prenantes du secteur rural du Burkina Faso. Les 22
recommandations qui en sont issues devraient permettre
une prise en compte effective des facteurs socio-
Ă©conomiques, environnementaux et climatiques
plausibles dans le futur proche et lointain, et ainsi aider Ă
rendre le PNSR II plus robuste face aux incertitudes
futures liées au changement climatique, aux dynamiques
mondiales, aux évolutions socioéconomiques, aux
changements des normes et valeurs, etc. En outre, un
exercice avec lâensemble des acteurs impliquĂ©s a
consisté à traduire lesdites recommandations en actions
et thématiques nouvelles à prendre en compte lors de la
formulation du PNSR II. Les Ă©changes entre acteurs ont
Ă©galement fait ressortir la nĂ©cessitĂ© dâune implication
transversale de la recherche dans la mise en Ćuvre des
activitĂ©s de cet important outil politique quâest le PNSR I
REDD+, transformational change and the promise of performance-based payments: a qualitative comparative analysis
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) has emerged as a promising climate change mitigation mechanism in developing countries. This paper examines the national political context in 13 REDD+ countries in order to identify the enabling conditions for achieving progress with the implementation of countries REDD+ policies and measures. The analysis builds on a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of various countries' progress with REDD+, conducted in 12 REDD+ countries in 2012, which highlighted the importance of factors such as already initiated policy change, and the presence of coalitions calling for broader policy change A follow-up survey in 2014 was considered timely because the REDD+ policy arena, at international and at country levels, is highly dynamic and undergoes constant evolution, which affects progress with REDD+ policy making and implementation. Furthermore, we will now examine whether the 'promise' of performance-based funds has played a role in enabling the establishment of REDD+. The results show a set of enabling conditions and characteristics of the policy process under which REDD+ policies can be established. The study finds that the existence of broader policy change, and availability of performance-based funding in combination with strong national ownership of the REDD+ policy process may help guide other countries seeking to formulate REDD+ policies that are likely to deliver efficient, effective, and equitable outcomes
Trees as brokers in social networks: Cascades of rights and benefits from a Cultural Keystone Species
International audienceIndigenous trees play key roles in West African landscapes, such as the nĂ©rĂ© tree ( Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R.Br. ex G.Don). We applied socialâecological network analysis to understand the socialâecological interactions around nĂ©rĂ©. We documented the benefits nĂ©rĂ© provides and the multiple social interactions it creates amongst a large range of actors. The flows of rights over the trees and benefits from them formed two hierarchical networks, or cascades, with different actors at the top. The two forms of power revealed by the two cascades of rights and benefits suggest possible powers and counter-powers across gender, ethnicity, and age. We documented how the tree catalyses social interactions across diverse groups to sustain vital social connections, and co-constitute places, culture, and relationships. We argue that a paradigm shift is urgently needed to leverage the remarkable untapped potential of indigenous trees and Cultural Keystone Species in current global restoration and climate change agendas
