18 ÉVALUATIONS ENVIRONNEMENTALES ET CONFLITS ARMÉS
Les impacts des conflits armés sur la qualité de vie, la santé humaine et la diversité biologique en Afrique, Kinshasa, mai 2008 ÉVALUATIONS ENVIRONNEMENTALES ET CONFLITS ARMÉS Michel A. Bouchard Al Hamndou Dorsouma

19 L’environnement est devenu depuis quelques années une préoccupation importante en situation de conflit armé ou de catastrophes naturelles, et une partie du PNUE y est consacré. Environmental Assessment of Armed Conflict has been going on for many years now, especially within « POST CONFLICT » context and even structured organisations such as UNEP-Post Conflict Branch

20 2. Les préoccupations se sont centrées principalement sur les EFFETS et l’Évaluation des dommages en situation immédiate de la phase Post Conflit , surtout à l’aide de A) DESK STUDIES B) EXPERTISES RAPIDES SUR LES LIEUX

41 Management and Governance challenges
GOUVERNANCE TOOLS MONITORING OBSERVATORY COUNTRIES ECOSYSTEM BASED CHALLENGES

42 Traditional Natural Resources Management strategies are being challenged while inability to cope with changing conditions lead rapidly to irreversible land degradation. Challenges have changed scales and new factors have compounded the issues: namely demographic growth, climate change, global trade rules and others. New threats and challenges cross national boundaries while still all requiring local-based actions or solutions. Emerging and growing national transboundary issues include urbanisation, migration, land use conflicts and resource-based potential conflicts.

43 While there are many solutions at various scales, including local based initiatives, and numerous opportunities for developing drylands, two major issues need to be confronted now: Developing resilience to climatic variability Stopping irreversible losses of agricultural capabilities by erosion (loss of soils) Both issues raise questions of the need for integrated MONITORING and GOVERNANCE

47 Drylands have given the World a profound contribution and legacy, notably the semi-nomadic and associated land tenure and land management practices and associated arts and cultures. Traditional ways of living were capable of coping with numerous vagaries of nature and resilience was the norm. Challenges have changed scales and new factors have compounded the issues: namely demographic growth, climate change, global trade rules and others.

51 Natural resources have fuelled the conflict
Liberia is a country with an area of km2 Population of 3,3 million Rich forest resources, minerals include diamonds, gold, and iron ore 14 years of civil war have lead to the ruin of the country Country’s rich natural resources have created and fuelled the conflict United Nations sanctions on diamonds and timber

52 Liberia has a lot of child soldiers

53 Some IDP´s have moved 7 times
people in IDP camps Problems in providing freshwater, sanitation and waste management Areas around the IDP camps are subject to a higher environmental impact – such as deforestation as a result of the collection of fuel wood

54 Monrovia currently has inhabitants - its sewage treatment system was designed for a population of

55 Lack of electricity is increasing reliance on charcoal and fuel wood

56 Shifting cultivation (slash and burn) is threatening
Liberian forests

57 New logging roads are part of the illegal timber trade, but are also used by bushmeat hunters

58 Alluvial diamond mining poses threats to riparian habitat and increases the environmental risks for downstream

59 UNEP work in Liberia Unregulated sandmining along a river outside Gbarnga and along the coast outside of Monrovia is causing erosion
