Appropriations Du D Veloppement Durable

Le développement durable ne fait désormais plus débat ; en quelques années, il est devenu un nouveau lieu commun des discours des autorités politiques, économiques et morales. Un tel unanimisme recouvre-t-il réellement une même aspiration à créer un développement capable de faire face aux inégalités sociales ou aux crises environnementales ? Les contributions de ce livre évaluent les procédures d'appropriation du développement durable - comment les acteurs s'en saisissent et décrètent l'appliquer. L'appropriation est une reformulation du projet constitué par le DD, en opérant une réflexion critique permanente sur les intentions portées par le DD et ses modalités d'application. Ce travail d'appropriation est donc une réinterprétation des principes généraux du DD afin de les adapter aux savoir-faires des secteurs d'activité concernés. L'approche pluridisciplinaire (droit, science politique, économie, géographie, aménagement, anthropologie) permet de constater que l'appropriation permet une conciliation, a minima, de la durabilité avec les habitudes culturelles et professionnelles de chacun des acteurs étudiés. Dès lors, nous assistons à une normalisation du DD qui explique son usage intensif, alors même qu'il perd tout contenu subversif.

Amorcée par le sommet de Rio de 1992, la traduction du développement durable dans les politiques publiques est, 20 ans après, remise en question. Dans la pratique, les politiques élaborées par les décideurs et les experts ont engendré une situation paradoxale : le développement durable est perçu comme un instrument de domination du "Nord" sur le "Sud", des puissants sur les défavorisés. Introduire la notion de territoire permet de renverser la perspective, d'ouvrir la réflexion sur les interactions possibles entre les habitants et les conditions changeantes, adaptables de leur environnement. L'Amazonie a été pour les auteurs un formidable laboratoire : grande hétérogénéité des sociétés locales souvent organisées en associations et syndicats, institutionnalisation du développement durable à travers les politiques territoriales, blocage des projets de développement territorial, en sont les quelques traits caractéristiques. Les auteurs y analysent les relations complexes entre territoire, développement durable et modernité et font ressortir les conditions de l'appropriation du développement durable par les autorités et par les populations. Puis, s'appuyant sur l'exemple des agriculteurs familiaux et les populations dites "traditionnelles", ils mesurent leur degré d'autonomisation vis-à-vis de l'Etat souverain. Tous ceux, chercheurs, universitaires mais aussi décideurs, représentants d'ONG, qui souhaitent approfondir les effets de l'impact du développement durable au travers des politiques locales trouveront dans cet ouvrage une matière riche à une réflexion qui s'appuie sur un territoire dont les enjeux mêlent des dimensions nationales et internationales.

This book conceptualises and illustrates temporary appropriation as an urban phenomenon, exploring its contributions to citizenship, urban social sustainability and urban health. It explains how some forms of appropriation can be subversive, existing in a grey area between legal and illegal activities in the city. The book explores the complex and the multi-scalar nature of temporary appropriation, and touches on its relationship to issues such as: sustainability and building re-use; culture; inclusivity, including socio-spatial inclusion; streetscape design; homelessness; and regulations controlling the use of public spaces. The book focuses on temporary appropriation as a necessity of adapting human needs in a city, highlighting the flexibility that is needed within urban planning and the further research that should be undertaken in this area. The book utilises case studies of Auckland, Algiers and Mexico City, and other cities with diverse cultural and historical backgrounds, to explore how planning, design and development can occur whilst maintaining community diversity and resilience. Since urban populations are certain to grow further, this is a key topic for understanding urban dynamics, and this book will be of interest to academics and practitioners alike.

The aim of this book is to deepen the knowledge of dynamic evolution of professional practices (recomposition of knowledge and know-how, inter-relations, strategic positioning) taking place at the time of the injunction to energy efficiency in the design field, construction and management of real estate. From their experience feedback, the challenge of this book is to question the logic of innovation, to enlighten the dynamic learning and renewal of professional skills.

This book analyses situations of coexistence and confrontation of agricultural and food models according to four major dimensions of territorial development: the tension between specialisation and diversification; innovation; adaptation; and food transition. New agricultural and food models are being deployed in territories around the world in response to criticisms of the old forms of agriculture and food production, and in order to meet new challenges. These models embody archetypes of the observed diversity, actors’ projects or new norms. A number of conceptual studies and case studies from France and other countries allow us to understand the interactions between these models (confrontation, complementarity, co-evolution, hybridisation, etc.), taking us well beyond the characterisation of their diversity and the evaluation of their relative performances. The coexistence and confrontation of these models build up their capacity for radical change. The book asks original questions about the analytical framework, its methodological challenges and the expected outcomes for the support of agricultural and food development in rural and urban territories. It is intended for researchers, teachers, students and professionals interested in territorial development. Pierre Gasselin, Sylvie Lardon, Claire Cerdan, Salma Loudiyi and Denis Sautier are the scientific coordinators of this book. They are geographers and economists at CIRAD, INRAE and VetAgro Sup, where they conduct research on the transformation of agriculture, food systems and territories in France and other countries. This book is the result of a collective research process involving 36 authors from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Burkina Faso, France, Japan, Switzerland and Vietnam. Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, author of the Foreword, is Professor Emeritus of Rural Sociology at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and Associate Professor of Agricultural Sociology at the China Agricultural University in Beijing. He has conducted extensive research on processes of agricultural transition and on dynamics of rural development.

This book is dedicated to a topic which has for a long time lacked the attention it deserves within the academic world. It intends to address in a coherent and comprehensive manner the problem of the environmental rights of the child, which are not identical to the ones of adults whose environmental rights have been appraised from a general point of view. In the absence of any international law instrument explicitly granting a child the right to a clean environment, drawing on an extensive and original analysis of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the practice of its monitoring body, this book undertakes an assessment of the extent to which these challenges may be overcome through a greater engagement between international law on the rights of the child and international environmental law. The result is the first comprehensive study on the manner in which these two mutually reinforcing legal regimes can interact to strengthen the protection of children’s environmental human rights at stake in the increased strategic environmental and climate litigations at both the national and international level. The book is recommended reading for, amongst others, policy makers, international environmental lawyers and human rights lawyers and practitioners. Additionally, lecturers, students and researchers from a range of disciplines will also gain from seeing how new legal scholarship and intertwined branches of international law contribute to the continual development of the living rights of the human rights conventions. Francesca Ippolito is Associate Professor of International Law in the Department of Political and Social Science of the University of Cagliari, Italy. She holds the Jean Monnet Chair on European Climate of Change - REACT for 2021-2024.

The introduction of sports and recreational facilities into natural environments calls for reflection on their impact on fragile ecosystems. This book is unique in providing an interdisciplinary approach to the ecological restoration of urban and industrial degraded habitats and their use by nearby city-dwellers. For the first time ecologists, sociologists and anthropologists have worked together on particularly sensitive ecosystems such as rivers and estuaries to propose recovery strategies that allow their basic ecological functions to be restored, and which can benefit local populations through nature activities. Nonetheless, the use of natural spaces calls for the building of sustainable towns. This is why this book is distinctive in considering quality of life and well-being as stated objectives of modern river towns. Recently, leisure time has become a part of urban rhythms. In order to favour personal development, an extensive palette of leisure activities is considered by the authors: bird watching entertainment sports culture Many aspects including physical and psychological attributes in relation to the contemporary socio-political fabric are dealt with. While creating areas of freedom, landscaping also induces certain forms of practice and encourages certain social skills. Conversely, the book questions certain types of management based on mass consumption. Don’t they, in the end, aim to satisfy needs that are impermanent and shallow? The image of the contemporary town relies on urban planning projects which, in a global economy, seek to capture the interest of tourists and local populations. How can suitable, diligent planning be successfully combined with both creative design and ecological care? This book demonstrates how biology and sociology can (and should) work in harmony in order to promote an ecosystem approach to environmental management.
