“…Due to losses of their livestock, many have fallen into poverty. Hallegatte and others [73] emphasised that poverty is not fixed, and poverty reduction is not a uniform, one-way process. Eventually, some people may be able to get out of poverty, while others may be dragged into poverty [73].…”

No safety net in the face of climate change: The case of pastoralists in Kunene Region, Namibia

2020

Over the past decade, pastoralists in Kunene Region, Namibia, have endured recurrent drought and flood events that have culminated in the loss of their primary form of livelihoodpastoralism. Most pastoralists are finding it difficult to sustain their livelihoods, and their communities have fallen into extreme poverty. Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) approaches are increasingly acknowledged as having the potential to enhance the adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities. The first step is to develop an understanding of how affected communities live, their perceptions of and how they respond to climate change and the biophysical impacts of climate change in their communities. This study aims to collect this information in order to explore the use of EbA to help pastoralists adapt to climate change. We examined an isolated pastoral Himba community, to understand their perceptions, experiences and understanding of climate change and its related impacts on their livelihoods. A nested mixed-methods approach using structured interviews was employed to address the study objectives. Interview results revealed that pastoralists lack scientific knowledge of climate change, and they have no access to climate change information. Though pastoralists have coping and adaptation approaches at the community level (such as making gardens, fishing, etc.), these have become ineffective as climatic uncertainty and change persist. Furthermore, pastoralists no longer get benefits from the environment, such as food and fodder. Despite this, there are currently no biodiversity interventions at the community level to address the impacts of climate change. Pastoralists have indicated their adaptation needs, particularly the provision of water supply to grow food. This is an open avenue to explore EbA approaches, specifically ecological restoration, while still addressing the need of the pastoralists. There is an urgent need to develop new practical adaptation strategies, including restoration options that will strengthen their adaptive capacity.

“…In developing countries, the common energy source consists of biomass, which is becoming increasingly rare [1]. Indeed, several studies in the energy and environment sector are sounding the alarm about the degraded state of forest resources and its consequences on climate change [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. The World Food Program (WFP) has estimated at 105,000 ha the regression rate of forest formations in Burkina while the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development stands at 107,626 ha/year [7].…”

This work concerns an experimental and numerical study of energy losses in a typical oven usually used in the agro-food craft sector in Burkina Faso. The experimental results were obtained by infrared thermography of the oven and by monitoring the evolution of the wall temperatures using thermocouples connected to a data acquisition system. These results indicate that the energy losses are mainly through the walls of the oven. The numerical study based on the energy balance and corroborated by the experimental study made it possible to quantify these losses of energy which represents almost half of the fuel used. These results will allow us to work on a new, more efficient oven model for the grilling sector in Burkina Faso.

“…In these circumstances, governments attempting to achieve the SDG 1, No Poverty should pay attention to the disasters as they adversely impact the poorer population, and drag them back and forth to poverty (Arnold 2006;Hallegatte et al 2018). In this regard, the post-disaster recovery period plays a vital role in the disaster management cycle as it recognizes the direction of both longand short-term recovery strategies (Finucane et al 2020) that could affect the well-being of the disaster victims, and where the poverty issues could be addressed.…”

Role of Social Belongingness During the Post-Disaster Recovery

Sense of belonging Sense of belonging is a common state of emotions any human being would feel right about. It frames who someone is and where that person is connected to. It develops the value of a person, and the absence of such a feeling may develop an insecurity resulting in negative consequences both physically and psychologically (Allen 2019). In broader terms, the state of belonging shapes up one's recognition (Chin 2019). This gradually develops the relationships and collectively forms a group, or a community, which welcomes and accepts each other. On the other hand, this state of mind may pull oneself out from being socially affiliated with other social groups, and might not be welcoming of other groups into one's own group.
