Abstract
This article examines the issues of climate change in the African context. The question is: what are the blueprints for addressing the dimensions of climate change in Africa and the implementation of SDG13 of the 2030 Agenda? The relief, the climate, the hydrography and the vegetation appear as fundamental bases in the restoration of the natural potentialities. The paradox of demography and the history of installations of cities without planning constitute “paths” of pertinent reflection in the constitution and exposure to risks. To restore the natural potentialities of practices and measures against drought, floods, destabilization of biotopes, overgrazing and deforestation appear as requirements. However, individual initiatives are futile without resorting to resilience supports, insemination forces and impetus impulses to structural engagement through the availability of green economy and individual commitments. The focal point of action for resilience appears with the consolidation of the economic being. This is what this reflection poses as a postulate: starting from the constitution of the awareness of needs to reveal in the subject his responsibility as a dynamic actor by necessity and / or by awareness of a need for action. This resilience appears with a co-construction of the external environment (physical, ecological, sustainability of resources, etc.) and the internal environment (consciousness, needs, new patterns, path and pattern of action, etc.) of the individual. Individual action becomes a socio-environmentally constructed act, socioculturally acceptable and socio-economically viable. The act is therefore part of a micro system, with springs and consequences on systems with a meso and macro dimension, therefore, included in the SDG13 of the 2030 Agenda. A guideline appears in the presentation of the research with a socio-economic actor positioning himself in his micro environment with instruments of collective action which consolidates socio-economic, environmental and climatic systems at the meso and macro level in Africa.
Highlights
The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa, Sustainable Africa 2030 still calls out because of its urgency and its problematic with regard to the specific challenges for Africa to assume its mobilization on enriching practices, innovative solutions and itinerant initiatives between predefined goals in the SDGs and emerging challenges.The response to the possibility of the same diffuse problem in a variety of development objectives arises through legitimate reflection on a concern
The debate around several questions seems important, in order to make the perspective of such concerns more explicit : What are the human practices on the issues of the expansion and control of climate risks in Africa ? What specific ecological transition for Africa in particular and its participation in the common fight against change and adverse climate effects in the world? What are the demographic challenges on the issue of risk prevention and climate change in Africa ?
In the African continent, climatic facts and data are seen as natural fatalities on which the practices, measures and action of the individual seem to be resigned to building a logic of adaptation and not of reaction on these climatic facts
Summary
The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa, Sustainable Africa 2030 still calls out because of its urgency and its problematic with regard to the specific challenges for Africa to assume its mobilization on enriching practices, innovative solutions and itinerant initiatives between predefined goals in the SDGs and emerging challenges.The response to the possibility of the same diffuse problem in a variety of development objectives arises through legitimate reflection on a concern. It is interesting for us to evoke on the one hand the question of apparently natural climatic facts with its human challenges (natural facts and data are not inevitable) and on the other hand questions of practices and human measures with their convincing and circumscribed resilience in Africa (facts and human actions as sources and artificial resources with apparent fatality) These two approaches provide us with an approach of critical and structural analysis on the strategic and operational links (resilience in the face of cyclical inevitability) with regard to Africa's contribution to a specific ecological transition to counter change and effects of climate change (African structural actions in the face of climate fate in favor of resilience)
