Abstract
Le climat n’a pas toujours intéressé le droit de la même manière. Il s’agira plutôt ici de suivre l’évolution de la place que la « mutabilité climatique », -entendue comme « l’augmentation non souhaitée de l’effet de serre » et comme « risque et menace pour l’humanité du fait de l’activité de l’homme »-, suscite dans le droit. Comment le droit l’a-t-il appréhendé ? Et, surtout, quels changements cela a induit dans les modes de gouvernance du climat ?The climate has not always interested the law in the same way. Rather, it will be a matter of monitoring the evolution of the place that "climate change", as "the undesired increase in the greenhouse effect" and as "the risk and threat to humanity due to The activity of man "- arouses in law. How did the law apprehend it? And, above all, what changes has it induced in the modes of climate governance?

Adaptation to Climate Change -- Vulnerability Assessment and Economic Aspects : Plurinational State of BoliviaWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2013-03-14)The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change (EACC) study estimates that it will cost $75 - $100 billion each year for developing countries to adapt to climate change from 2010 to 2050 (World Bank 2009a). The study funded by the governments of the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Switzerland has two specific objectives. The first is to develop a global estimate of adaptation coststo inform the international community s efforts on how to tailor adequate and sustainable support regarding new and additional resources to help vulnerable developing countries meet adaptation costs. The second objective is to support decision makers in developing countries to better evaluate and assess the risks posed by climate change and to better design strategies to adapt to climate change. The EACC study includes a global track to meet the first study objective and a case study track to meet the second objective. The country track comprises seven countries: Ethiopia, Mozambique, Ghana, Bangladesh, Vietnam, The Plurinational State of Bolivia, and Samoa.

Sub-Saharan Africa - Managing Land in a Changing Climate : An Operational Perspective for Sub-Saharan AfricaWorld Bank (World Bank, 2012-03-19)Livelihoods, food security, and development processes in Sub-Saharan Africa are highly dependent on land management practices to generate natural ecosystem goods and services. Out of a total population of about 717 million people, almost 60 percent depend for their livelihood on agriculture, hunting, fishing, or forestry. However, unsustainable land management already is leading to large-scale land degradation trends, which pose a threat to food security and poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change threatens to exacerbate and add to the existing vulnerabilities. Evidence has shown that the number of people affected by climate variability, through floods and droughts, is already increasing. Much-needed increases in agricultural production have, as a result, been unrealized. These outcomes place smallholder farmers, who depend largely on rainfed agriculture, in highly vulnerable circumstances under climate-change predictions. The objective of this work is to improve practical knowledge resources for Sub-Saharan African countries, regional institutions, and development practitioners at the World Bank and other partner institutions to help them make informed decisions about: (i) the risks posed by climate variability and change to land-resource-dependent livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa; and (ii) Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) approaches and practices that are best suited for meeting development objectives while also addressing the challenge posed by climate-change adaptation and mitigation.

Beyond Downscaling : A Bottom-Up Approach to Climate Adaptation for Water Resources ManagementGarcia, L.E.; DiFrancesco, K.N.; Wijnen, M.; Matthews, J.H.; Rodriguez, D.J.; Ray, P. (World Bank Group, Washington, DC, 2014-09-11)This report focuses on how we achieve
 water sustainability over long timescales - decades, even
 centuries from now. These timescales are important and
 relevant to our decisions about planning, infrastructure,
 and institutions today. Many of the methods we use to manage
 water, directly or indirectly, commit us to future decision
 pathways and restrict us from making other, alternative
 decisions. Across the first four chapters, this report
 describes the challenges of including climate change in
 water management decision-making and provides an overview of
 current practices in the adaptation field. After considering
 the pros and cons of these practices, the book concludes
 with a framework for an adaptation approach supported by
 Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA).
