Achieving food security: id21 insights, issue 61: The African Union estimates that 27 percent of Africans are undernourished, a 2 percent decline since 1995
Halving hunger and extreme poverty by 2015 is the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG). However, persistent hunger is still prevalent worldwide, slowing progress towards all other MDGs, particularly in
sub-Saharan Africa.
Many regions have progressed towards achieving food security, notably South Asia since the Green Revolution. However, this issue of id21 insights focuses on sub-Saharan Africa, the only developing region where food security has worsened in recent decades.Achieving food security: id21 insights, issue 61: The African Union estimates that 27 percent of Africans are undernourished, a 2 percent decline since 1995

PEID - Le développement durable au secours des paradis menacés
Because of their geographical position, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are highly vulnerable to weather- and climate-related phenomena such as tropical cyclones, flooding and sea-level rise. Environmental degradation is another real threat to their water resources and coastal and marine ecosystems, while the economic mainstays of fishing and tourism are also at risk from these factors. This brochure explains the problems faced by SIDS and how meteorological and hydrological information can contribute to their sustainable development.Permalink
