Madagascar face aux enjeux du développement durable
Cet ouvrage aborde la question du développement durable à Madagascar, un pays qui associe à une exceptionnelle biodiversité la grande pauvreté de la majorité de ses habitants. Il est l'aboutissement de travaux de recherche visant à étudier les politiques environnementales et l'action collective locale, insérées dans des pratiques d'aide au développement. Quels sont les enjeux de développement durable à Madagascar par rapport au contexte international et quelles sont les conditions de mise en place et de réalisation des politiques environnementales ? De quels moyens dispose-t-on à Madagascar pour élaborer des politiques et des stratégies de développement durable ? Les expériences locales contribuent-elles au renouvellement des réflexions sur le développement durable ? Cet ouvrage vise un large public : les chercheurs du Nord comme des Suds, les acteurs de terrain, les enseignants et les étudiants intéressés par la thématique du développement durable dans les pays en développement.
Sustainable Development: Concepts, Rationalities and Strategies
3 decision support techniques that do not depend exclusively on market incentives and monetary valuation. The World Conservation Strategy published by the mCN (1980) recognised the full dimensions of these problems, and introduced the concept of sustainable development, placing the emphasis on the exploitation of natural systems and the use of biological natural resources within limits so that the availability of these resources for use by future generations would not be jeopardised by the current use of them. At this time, the imposition of quotas and the definition of critical loads and environmental standards were suggested as the sorts of instruments necessary to cope with the problems o...
Principles of Sustainable Development - Volume I
Principles of Sustainable Development is the component of Encyclopedia of Development and Economic Sciences in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias.

This definition...

Parcours de recherche à Madagascar
C'est après la Seconde Guerre mondiale que la recherche française sur les pays tropicaux se structure selon un nouveau dispositif institutionnel. Dès 1946, Madagascar fait partie des pays précurseurs disposant d'un centre de recherche (PIRSM, Institut de recherche scientifique de Madagascar), de moyens logistiques et humains pour mener à bien ses objectifs scientifiques et de développement. Depuis, l'IRSM a été intégré à l'Orstom (Office de la recherche scientifique et technique outre-mer), devenu IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement) en 1998, et le partenariat avec les chercheurs et universitaires nationaux s'est considérablement élargi. À travers différents parc...
Land Matters
Across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), land is scarce and valuable. Demand for land is projected to dramatically increase to meet the needs of a fast-growing urban population. At the same time, the supply of land is restricted by weak governance and climate factors, causing the quasi-exhaustion of cultivable land reserves. As a result, a crisis is looming. Yet, land continues to be used inefficiently, inequitably, and unsustainably. Land Matters identifies and analyzes the economic, environmental, and social challenges associated with land in the MENA region, shedding light on policy options and proposing paths to reform. It concludes that MENA countries need to act promptly, think more holistically about land, reassess the strategic trade-offs, and minimize land distortions. This report promotes a culture of open data, transparency, and inclusive dialogue on land, while filling major data gaps. These important steps will contribute to renewing the social contract, transforming the region economically and digitally, improving women’s land rights, and facilitating recovery and reconstruction in a context of dramatic social, political, and climatic transformation.
Governing the Provision of Ecosystem Services
Founded on the core notion that we have reached a turning point in the governance, and thus the conservation, of ecosystems and the environment, this edited volume features more than 20 original chapters, each informed by the paradigm shift in the sector over the last decade. Where once the emphasis was on strategies for conservation, enacted through instruments of control such as planning and ‘polluter pays’ legislation, more recent developments have shown a shift towards incentive-based arrangements aimed at those responsible for providing the environmental services enabled by such ecosystems. Encouraging shared responsibility for watershed management, developed in Costa Rica, is a prime example, and the various interests involved in its instauration in Java are one of the subjects examined here.
