Position Paper on WEFE Nexus and SDGs

By andrea.iervolino 0 Comments

Current EU development policy provides a general frame and background that justifies a Nexus approach and methodology. Thus, the new European Consensus on Development: “Our World, our Dignity, our Future” (June 2017) emphasises an integrated approach to development and strongly supports the 2030 Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were adopted in September 2015 as a global framework for sustainable development action. The 2030 Agenda itself emphasises an integrated approach that can facilitate a Nexus methodology.

Processus et enjeux d'eau en Afrique de l'Ouest soudano-sahélienne

By andrea.iervolino 0 Comments

Ce livre décrit les processus hydrologiques et leurs dynamiques passées et actuelles au gré de l’évolution des agrosystèmes, de leur emprise spatiale, de leur capacité d’adaptation au changement global, et aux changements climatiques. Il se fonde sur l’indicateur que représente la capacité de rétention en eau des sols, qui conditionne la bonne alimentation en eau et en nutriments des systèmes racinaires, tant des cultures que de la végétation naturelle. C’est aussi cette rétention en eau qui permet de limiter le ruissellement et les inondations en aval.

[as delivered]
President Macron, Excellencies, World Bank President Jim Kim, Ladies and gentlemen,
We are not yet winning the war on climate change — the defining challenge of our times.
The Paris Agreement lays the basis for ambitious action.
But we know that current commitments will not get us there.
Every day, in every region, the front pages are dominated by weather-related disasters – storms, floods, droughts, fires.
