Rural Societies in the Face of Climatic and Environmental Changes in West Couv anglaisok Page 1 Scientific editors Benjamin Sultan, Richard Lalou, Mouftaou Amadou Sanni, Amadou Oumarou, Mame Arame Soumaré Rural societies in the face Benjamin Sultan, Richard Lalou Mouftaou Amadou Sanni Amadou Oumarou Mame Arame Soumaré of climatic and environmental changes in West Africa The future of West Africa depends on the capacity of its agriculture to ensure the food security of the population, which should double in the next 20 years,while facing up to the new risks resulting from climate warming. Indeed, the changes in temperature and precipita- tions already operating and that should become more marked will have serious effects on agricultural production and water resources in this part of Africa in the near future. One of the keys to meeting this new challenge is the adaptation of rural societies to climate risks. To gain better knowledge of the potential, processes and barriers, this book analyses recent and ongoing trends in the climate and the environment and examines how rural societies perceive and integrate them: what are the impacts of these changes, what vulnerabilities are there but also what new opportunities do they bring? How do the populations adapt and what innovations do they implement—while the climate- induced effects interact with the social, political, economic and technical changes that are in motion in Africa? By associating French and African scientists (climatologists, IRD agronomists, hydrologists, ecologists, demographers, geogra- 44, bd de Dunkerque phers, anthropologists, sociologists and others) in a multidisci- 13572 Marseille cedex 02 plinary approach, the book makes a valuable contribution to Rural societies in the face of climatic [email protected] better anticipation of climatic risks and the evaluation of African www.editions.ird.fr societies to stand up to them. and environmental changes in West Africa 35 € ISBN : 978-2-7099-2424-5 Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Escape-P1-GB.qxp_Escape-MEP 21/10/2017 08:48 Page1 Rural societies in the face of climatic and environmental changes in West Africa Escape-P1-GB.qxp_Escape-MEP 21/10/2017 08:48 Page2 Escape-P1-GB.qxp_Escape-MEP 21/10/2017 08:48 Page3 Rural societies in the face of climatic and environmental changes in West Africa Scientific editors Benjamin SULTAN, Richard LALOU, Mouftaou AMADOU SANNI, Amadou OUMAROU, Mame Arame SOUMARÉ IRD Éditions FRENCH NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Collection Synthèses Marseille, 2017 Escape-P1-GB.qxp_Escape-MEP 21/10/2017 08:48 Page4 Principal translator Simon Barnard Coordination Corinne Lavagne Layout Aline Lugand – Gris Souris Cover layout Michelle Saint-Léger Page layout Pierre Lopez Cover illustrations Irrigated gardens in Niger – © IRD/M.

The economy and food security are closely dependent on rainfed farming—used on 93% of the cultivated land. The African farming sector employs 70% of total labour (FAO 2003), generates 15 to 20% of the GDP and produces 80% of the cereals consumed in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to this dependence, rapid population growth and limited access to technological adaptations (mechanisation, fertilizers, irrigation) are factors that aggravate the socioeconomic effect of the climate (UNDP, 2004). This vulnerability to climate increased at the end of the 20th century as a result of a nearly 30% decrease in precipitation in the Sahel over a period of 40 years (BROWN and CRAWFORD, 2008) while the population doubled. The more marked famines since the 1970s necessitated international food aid and were caused partly by climatic variations (DILLEY et al., 2005). In this context, understanding and anticipating climate fluctuations and changes together with their consequences for farming form a major issue for socioeconomic development and food security in sub-Saharan Africa. The expected consequences of climate change are added to these recent fluctuations. The last report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014) con- firms—with increasing certitude—the global warming caused by the increase in 9 Escape-P1-GB.qxp_Escape-MEP 21/10/2017 08:48 Page10 Rural societies in the face of climatic and environmental changes in West Africa greenhouse gases and its probable consequences for the environment and societies. In particular, it issued another warning to the international community about an increase in temperatures worldwide and a probable increase in the frequency and intensity of major meteorological events such as droughts, mentioning Africa as being one of the regions that are most vulnerable to changes in climate. Even if many uncertainties remain about the effects of global warming on the climate of Africa, such an upset will certainly have repercussions on water resources and agri- cultural production (CGIAR, 2009).

  • Contrasting Perceptions with Climate Change Scientific Observations in Three West African Contexts
    Escape-P1-GB.qxp_Escape-MEP 21/10/2017 08:49 Page87 Chapter 4 Contrasting perceptions with climate change Scientific observations in three West African contexts Frédéric KOSMOWSKI, Richard LALOU, Benjamin SULTAN, Ousmane NDIAYE, Bertrand MULLER, Sylvie GALLE, Luc SEGUIS Introduction In parallel with measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, climate change adap- tation has become a major research subject in recent years. Based on anticipation and resilience mechanisms, adaptation is aimed at ‘managing the inevitable; when reduction seeks to avoid the unmanageable’ (TUBIANA et al., 2010). The study of perception is of major interest in particular in rural West Africa, where adaptation is more likely to be autonomous. Indeed, it is accepted that cognitive factors play a role in the adaptation process through the perception of changes, the perception of risks and the perception of adaptive capacities (HANSEN et al., 2004; GROTHMANN and PATT, 2005; WEBER, 2010). Normative information in questions of climate is clearly given by scientific expertise. However, learning about climate change from personal experience is a strongly shared experience and the resulting perceptions are often a prior condition for action (mitigation and adaptation), whether or not there has been access to scientific information. Comparing perception and scientific observations is still a methodological challenge. Whether scientific knowledge or uninitiated knowledge is concerned, both are based on observation but involve very different tools for seeing reality and generalisation methods. As is underlined by WEBER (2010), perception is based on the weather at a certain moment and the memory of it that is conserved; this is of course very different to knowledge of climate, which is based on a statistical distribution of the terrestrial atmospheric conditions in a given region and for a given period.

  • The MLNA's Fight for a Secular State of Azawad
    The MLNA's Fight for a Secular State of Azawad By: Anna Mahjar Barducci* On April 6, 2012, the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) seceded from Mali unilaterally and declared an independent State of Azawad. The MNLA is a secular Tuareg1 movement whose goal is the establishment of a secular state in Azawad that will respect the rights of all ethnic groups in the region (Tuareg, Moors2, Songhai and Peul). The MLNA has declared itself a partner of the West in the war on terrorism. However, despite its secular and pro-Western character, immediately after the secession the MNLA became the target of a smear campaign by international media,3 which tried to paint it as an Islamist movement. The campaign served the interest of the Malian government and of neighboring countries, which want to delegitimize the MNLA's struggle in order to avoid recognition of the State of Azawad. MLNA Seizes Two Historic Opportunities The MNLA seceded from Mali by taking advantage of two historic opportunities. One was provided by the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Desperately struggling for his survival, Gaddafi armed the Tuareg population in northern Mali, hoping they would help him quell the uprising against him. However, instead of turning their weapons against the Libyan rebels, the Tuaregs used them to take control of their own country. They were assisted by Tuaregs who immigrated to Libya in the 1960s and 1980s in search for a better life and joined the Libyan army, who defected from the tyrant's army and came to the aid of their brothers in Azawad.
