Auteur: West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program (WACA)
En cette semaine de la Journée mondiale de l’océan, rappelons-nous qu’un tiers de la population d’Afrique de l’Ouest vit sur le littoral.

Auteur: West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program (WACA)
Dovi Woollens has lived along the coast of Baguida, Togo for her entire life. She makes her living from the sea, by selling fish and seafood in her local community. In recent years, Dovi has struggled to make ends meet because fish are no longer as plentiful, and it’s harder to have a good catch.

Living on the Edge: Saving West Africa Coastal Assets
Auteur: West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program (WACA)
The communities who have lived on West Africa’s coastal areas for centuries are at the greatest risk of climate change. As sea levels rise, and severe weather events increase in frequency due to climate change, the safety and wellbeing of coastal communities is at peril, with poor and marginalized populations proving most vulnerable. Without concrete measures to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change, West Africa’s development achievements, as well as hopes for continued growth and poverty reduction, will be severely compromised.

Littoral fragile : Relevons les défis de la côte ouest-africaine
Auteur: West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program (WACA)
Les villages côtiers d’Afrique de l’Ouest font face au risque d’une catastrophe écologique. L’érosion et les inondations menacent les moyens de subsistance des communautés du littoral. Ce sont les conséquences les plus visibles du changement climatique le long des côtes d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Sans mesures adéquates d’atténuation et d’adaptation, le changement et la variabilité climatique mettront en péril les progrès durement acquis du développement en Afrique et contrecarreront les ambitions africaines de croissance et de réduction de la pauvreté.
