Resumen
Descripción
Niger is a fragile country, marked by
a poorly diversified economy and extreme poverty. Climate
change, rapid demographic growth, and weak governance are
major threats to Niger's growth. These changes have led
to human losses, decreased soil productivity, and increased
competition for access to resources. Moreover, many rural
communities have grappled with a land tenure system with
often unclear and overlapping rights, a lack of land use
classification and registry, and an absence of monitoring
and enforcing by local institutions. It is important to note
that the rapid population growth and the recent COVID
pandemic have put additional pressure on food security and
natural resources. Natural capital is crucial for the
Nigeriens' livelihoods and food security.
Degradation of cropland and pastureland is a key problem in
Niger. This Country Environmental Analysis (CEA) aims to
analyze critical environmental challenges that threaten
sustainable economic growth in Niger and to propose actions
to address them. It focuses on three government priorities
that require in-depth analysis and immediate response: land
degradation, deforestation and forest degradation, and
climate change.
