La Gouvernance Climatique Au Cameroun

La multiplication des événements climatiques extrêmes (sécheresses, inondations) du fait de la hausse de la température mondiale a conduit les Etats de la planète à mettre la question du changement climatique sur leur agenda politique. Le Cameroun n'en fait pas exception. Traiter de la gouvernance climatique au Cameroun conduit nécessairement à analyser comment se construit l'action publique de lutte contre le changement climatique au Cameroun. Elle apparaît comme une confi guration d'action publique multi-niveaux.

Thèse de Master de l'année 2020 dans le domaine Histoire - Histoire globale - Histoire moderne, note: 15/20, cours: Histoire, langue: Français, résumé Notre recherche centrée sur les questions des changements climatiques est intitulée "Le Cameroun et la Convention-Cadre des Nations Unies sur les Changements Climatiques 1992-2015". Cette étude est une analyse de la politique climatique du Cameroun à l'échelle nationale et internationale tout en questionnant l'effectivité de la mise en oeuvre de la Convention Cadre des Nations Unies sur les Changements Climatiques au Cameroun. Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à une approche chronologique, dans une analyse systémique imposant inter et transdisciplinarité pour examiner de manière critique des sources et informations recueillies. Cela a permis de rendre compte des actions menées par le Cameroun en matière de lutte et d'atténuation des changements climatiques ainsi qu'aux capacités du pays à s'adapter aux effets néfastes de ce phénomène, qui affichent un tableau mitigé. Cela se manifeste par des réalisations conséquentes observées sur les plans juridique et institutionnel et des multiples projets et programmes initiés. Ces illustrations démontrent l'attachement du pays à la cause climatique. De ce problème s'est dégagé l'hypothèse suivante: la mise en oeuvre de la CCNUCC est effective au Cameroun. Toutefois, le pays connaît quelques difficultés liées à la gouvernance, la corruption, le manque de ressources techniques et financières qui handicapent et limitent l'action du Cameroun auxquelles il est nécessaire d'apporter des améliorations. Cependant, pour pallier à ces obstacles, le renforcement des capacités des différents acteurs et la prise en compte les changements climatiques dans les politiques de développement sont des préalables pour l'atténuation, la résilience et l'adaptation du Cameroun aux corollaires du changement climatique.

The purpose of this study is to identify new synergistic pathways between climate change mitigation and adaptation policies in Cameroon using an approach based on a literature review of the political processes that led to the introduction of the two strategies. The common feature of the two political processes is the absence of strategy in Cameroon. The country is finding it difficult to assimilate and coordinate these processes at the national level. More attention is being given to mitigation than to adaptation. In any case, it is difficult to formulate any political options without complete studies on the responses to the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation and on the vulnerability of the forest populations and their capacity to absorb climate shocks.

Using political and public administration perspectives, this book argues that for democratization and integration to be consolidated and institutionalized, direct involvement of the people of Southern Africa is paramount. Democratization and integration are about people, the sovereigns, and not merely the abstract actors called nation states.

Using various case studies as well as legal, communication, and awareness perspectives, this book examines the nexus of the people of Southern Africa, democratization, and integration in the SADC region.

This edited collection assesses governance in forestry programmes and projects, including REDD+ governance. It examines political representation, participation and decentralisation in forest governance, providing insight as to how forest governance arrangements can be responsive to the socio-economic interests of local people and communities who live adjacent to and depend on forests. Global Forest Governance and Climate Change argues that inclusive complementary representation of local communities is required for strong participatory processes and democratic decentralisation of forest governance. Responsiveness to local people’s socio-economic interests in forestry initiatives require paying attention to not just the hosting of participatory meetings and activities, but also to the full cast of appointed, self-authorized, and elected representative agents that stand, speak, and act for local people. This book will be of interest to students and academics across the fields of climate change governance, forestry, development studies, and political economy. It will also be a useful resource for policy makers and practitioners responsible for forestry and climate change initiatives.

The "commons" has come to mean many things to many people, and the term is often used inconsistently. The study of the commons has expanded dramatically since Garrett Hardin’s The Tragedy of the Commons (1968) popularized the dilemma faced by users of common pool resources. This comprehensive Handbook serves as a unique synthesis and resource for understanding how analytical frameworks developed within the literature assist in understanding the nature and management of commons resources. Such frameworks include those related to Institutional Analysis and Development, Social-Ecological Systems, and Polycentricity, among others. The book aggregates and analyses these frameworks to lay a foundation for exploring how they apply according to scholars across a wide range of disciplines. It includes an exploration of the unique problems arising in different disciplines of commons study, including natural resources (forests, oceans, water, energy, ecosystems, etc), economics, law, governance, the humanities, and intellectual property. It shows how the analytical frameworks discussed early in the book facilitate interdisciplinarity within commons scholarship. This interdisciplinary approach within the context of analytical frameworks helps facilitate a more complete understanding of the similarities and differences faced by commons resource users and managers, the usefulness of the commons lens as an analytical tool for studying resource management problems, and the best mechanisms by which to formulate policies aimed at addressing such problems.

Public authorities from all levels of government increasingly turn to Citizens' Assemblies, Juries, Panels and other representative deliberative processes to tackle complex policy problems ranging from climate change to infrastructure investment decisions. They convene groups of people representing a wide cross-section of society for at least one full day – and often much longer – to learn, deliberate, and develop collective recommendations that consider the complexities and compromises required for solving multifaceted public issues.
