Human-driven changes to the water and land-use in the Sahel, in the name of economic development, is in many situations undermining people’s livelihoods and their resilience to the unpredictable and changing climate. The degradation of Sahelian wetlands leads to water and food scarcity and further land degradation, and can affect the social, economic and political stability of the region and be one of the drivers of out-migration and conflicts over access to land and water. Good management of natural resources is key to resolve tensions within and among different user groups.
This session aims at discussing what is needed to enhance community resilience, by addressing water and human insecurity in times of crisis.
