As part of a scoping study titled Land Governance for Climate Resilience: A review and case studies from LAND-at-scale projects headed by Richard Sliuzas, Emeritus Professor, University of Twente, IOM explored how climate plays a role in the UN-led Saameynta Joint Programme in Somalia. In this context, climate change is increasingly recognized as a multiplier of insecurity and fragility, where climate-related sudden and slow-onset disasters are driving people to leave their land and migrate. While migrating allows people to find alternative livelihoods and enhance their climate resilience, it can also be associated with instances of maladaptation to climate change. As such, this case highlights durable solutions in climate-driven urban sprawl in Baidoa.  

Ce numéro du bulletin  "what to read digest", en français, ce qu'il faut lire présente trois articles récents qui adoptent un point de vue différent sur l'Afrique urbaine. Les publications font référence à des moyens novateurs de sécuriser le foncier dans les villes, aux obstacles à l'agriculture urbaine, et donnent un aperçu de l'urgence et des opportunités des réfugiés urbains.

En périphérie de la Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM), il semble qu’on soit incapable de freiner l’étalement urbain, que ce soit dans Lanaudière, les Basses-Laurentides ou sur la Rive-Sud, en Montérégie.

“This plot is not for sale” are the six words you will find, marked on a lot of properties and plots of land in Uganda. The words are meant to ward off quack land or property brokers and conmen. Most of the cases handled in courts in Uganda, and Kampala in particular, are fraud-related cases (like selling land while the true owners are away using counterfeit titles) and land transaction fraud (when fake land titles are obtained and sadly some officers in the land registry are involved).

After years of efforts, land rights are finally getting global attention. With several land-related indicators included in the Sustainable Development Goals, the land sector now has the unique opportunity to create an unprecedented momentum around land tenure issues and bring it to a higher level on the development agenda. Our goal is, of course, to contribute to the success of the SDGs, but also to be part of sustainable development in its real and practical sense!

Suite à des constats et plaintes et s’inscrivant dans cette logique populiste en vogue sous la transition, la septième législature a réalisé une prouesse en répondant aux attentes des populations par la mise en place d’une commission d’enquête parlementaire sur le foncier urbain.
