Abstract

Français English

Countries such as Morocco and Senegal have embarked on ambitious transitions through their national sustainable development strategies, but they face a funding gap that limits their adaptive capacity. At the same time, the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous communities—rooted in centuries of experience in ecosystem management—represents a valuable heritage for developing resilience models tailored to local contexts. It is within this framework that an international congress will bring together researchers, experts, and local stakeholders to identify economic and financial tools capable of supporting a just and balanced transition for Africa.

Argument

In a context of global climate emergency, environmental and ecological economics has become an essential pillar for designing sustainable public policies. Africa is suffering a double injustice: first, climate injustice, as the continent contributes only 3-4% of global greenhouse gas emissions but bears the most severe impacts of warming; second, financial injustice, since industrialized countries have not honored their funding commitments, particularly the promise of $100 billion annually. COP30 in November 2025 represents a crucial opportunity to reassess these financing mechanisms and redefine responsibilities.

Countries such as Morocco and Senegal have embarked on ambitious transitions through their national sustainable development strategies, but they face a funding gap that limits their adaptive capacity. At the same time, the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous communities—rooted in centuries of experience in ecosystem management—represents a valuable heritage for developing resilience models tailored to local contexts. It is within this framework that an international congress will bring together researchers, experts, and local stakeholders to identify economic and financial tools capable of supporting a just and balanced transition for Africa.

The scientific themes of the conference are structured around the following axes:

  • Axis 1: Inclusive ecological transition and new models of local development
  • Axis 2: Economic and financial instruments in support of the transition
  • Axis 3: Resilient management of common goods: water, biodiversity, and natural capital
  • Axis 4: Innovation, green entrepreneurship, and territorial dynamics
  • Axis 5: Vulnerabilities, climate risks, and resilience mechanisms
  • Axis 6: Multi-level governance, public policies, and environmental justice
  • Axis 7: Social inequalities, gender, and climate justice
  • Axis 8: Anthropogenic pressures: demography, urbanization, and new balances
  • Axis 9: Environmental education, citizen engagement, and behavioural change
  • Axis 10: Environmental and food security: geopolitical issues and conflicts
  • Axis 11: Traditional ecological knowledge, indigenous practices, and the valorisation of cultural heritage
  • Note: This list of themes is not exhaustive, and we therefore welcome all relevant and constructive proposals.
