Ressources naturelles et développement des territoires en Afrique (FUN)

Offered by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne,

Depuis le début des années 2000, le contexte africain du développement est marqué par une augmentation de la pression sur les ressources naturelles, du fait de la croissance démographique de l'Afrique et de la demande mondiale. Il en résulte notamment des destructions environnementales, des tensions foncières et des conflits. La régulation de l’exploitation des ressources naturelles est donc plus que jamais un enjeu central du développement. L’approche territoriale proposée permet d’éclairer les interactions entre acteurs dont les stratégies se déploient à différents niveaux, et souvent entre local et global. L'objectif de ce cours est de vous permettre de comprendre les enjeux liés aux ressources naturelles et de renforcer vos capacités d'analyse et d'action (gestion, négociation, plaidoyer) dans ce domaine.

Ce MOOC bénéficie du travail de recherche et de développement mené dans le cadre du projet EIFFELa ANR-15-IDFN-0012 financé par l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche.Une attention particulière a été consacrée à rendre les contenus proposés plus accessibles et interactifs (sous-titrage et enrichissement des vidéos, mise à disposition des contenus en téléchargement...) et de nouvelles fonctionnalités visant à favoriser le "social learning" seront expérimentées lors de cette première session.

Format
Le MOOC se déroulera sur une durée de 6 semaines :

Les participants seront encouragés à échanger sur des forums de discussion animés par l'équipe pédagogique.
L’apport théorique se fera par des vidéos (4 à 6 vidéos de 10 à 15 mn par semaine)
La partie pratique sera fondée sur des jeux de rôle qui permettront d'appliquer les connaissances acquises en jouant le rôle d'un acteur.

Sustainable development, popularized by the Brundtland Report, was defined at the end of the 1980s in three spheres (economic, environmental and social). It is this representation that continues today to be disseminated to the public and to large companies. The objective of this MOOC is to question the major challenges of development for Europe in a perspective of strong sustainability (energy, climate, biodiversity, food, mobility, agriculture, natural resources, education...) and to propose alternatives.

Energy is an important part of the world today. Without energy production is impossible, development is impossible, life itself is impossible. Any activity is somehow connected to the energy industry. The future development of the world depends on progress in the energy sector. Existing problems in the energy industry are related not only to environmental pollution, but also to the consumption of limited natural resources.
