Cette étude, basée sur une enquête auprès de 1233 producteurs de manioc au Cameroun, analyse l'effet de l'adoption des semences améliorées de manioc (MAPM) sur la résilience climatique. L'approche économétrique employée repose sur un modèle probit bivarié récursif, permettant l'estimation des effets marginaux et des effets de traitement. Les résultats révèlent un effet positif de l’adoption du MAPM sur la résilience face aux chocs de sécheresse et d’inondation. D'une part, on relève que l’accès à l’électricité ainsi que l’expérience du producteur dans l’activité agricole sont les principaux facteurs ayant une influence sur l’adoption du MAPM. Il est de ce fait formulé quelques recommandations de nature à améliorer l’adoption des semences de qualité et échapper aux chocs liés au changement climatique.

Urban heat stress is projected to rise sharply by 2050, posing significant challenges to economic, societal, and environmental sustainability, yet cooling remains a neglected issue in global development discourses, with no explicit mention in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or their 169 targets. Small states in the Global South, particularly in the oil-rich Persian Gulf, face a unique dilemma as they navigate the intersection of rapid urbanization, thermal vulnerability, and aspirations for international recognition. Qatar exemplifies this tension, using energy-intensive cooling solutions to support its ambitions of hosting prestigious global events, such as the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the upcoming 2030 Asian Games. These efforts have shifted cooling strategies from indoor spaces to large-scale outdoor environments, reflecting a model of development heavily reliant on energy subsidies and resource-intensive practices. This approach underscores a critical tension between local efforts to achieve global prestige and the broader imperative to align with sustainable development goals. By examining Qatar’s trajectory, this paper highlights the need for small states to rethink their reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems and adopt sustainable, equitable solutions that balance their development aspirations with global sustainability commitments.

This paper explores embodied perspectives on climate change in aquaculture through the lens of feminist political ecology (FPE), highlighting the intersections of gender, power, and environmental change. Aquaculture, as a rapidly growing sector addressing global food security, is deeply affected by climate change, yet the experiences and contributions of marginalized groups, particularly women, remain underrepresented in policy and research. Drawing on FPE, this study examines how gendered bodies and labour are differentially impacted by climate-driven shifts in aquaculture production, including resource access, adaptation strategies, and decision-making.

FPE underscores how power dynamics shape access to aquaculture resources, training, and technologies, particularly for women, who are often constrained by discriminatory norms and relegated to informal or low-value roles. These limitations exacerbate vulnerabilities to climate change, as women’s work in aquaculture—frequently involving small-scale, homestead-based operations—faces compounded risks from extreme weather, resource depletion, and market fluctuations. Additionally, the study explores the anxieties and emotions of fish farmers as they face increasing uncertainties in their aquaculture livelihoods.

By foregrounding the embodied and situated knowledge of women and other marginalized groups, this study seeks to illuminate the ways in which gender, nature and bodies are implicated in aquaculture and the precarities of climate change. This approach advocates for inclusive, gender-responsive climate adaptation strategies that recognize and address structural inequities in resource distribution and decision-making. Ultimately, the paper contributes to broader efforts to reimagine sustainable aquaculture development through equity-focused and ecologically mindful frameworks.

Over the last two decades, skyrocketing global demand due to capitalist forms of accumulation has caused an uptick in the extraction of natural resources in the Amazon and other regions worldwide. Without critically addressing the capitalist system of accumulation as the incentivizing factor behind the extractive process, the numerous social and environmental problems caused by ongoing extraction will continue. This presents an important question; is the prevention of environmental degradation and improvement of livelihoods possible in the present capitalist world? This paper argues that Indigenous, racialized, and feminist forms of resistance successfully contribute to environmental and social prosperity because of their refusal to abide by the capitalist system and their envisionment for the future. The analysis is informed by a combination of ethnographic material from the Amazonian regions, works written about the extractive process more broadly in Latin America or elsewhere, and current grey literature reports. The longue duree of capitalist accumulation and extraction is explored, rooted in colonial and imperial ideologies to understand how inequality and exploitation are embedded. This is followed by an exploration of how Indigenous, racialized, and feminist groups have refused the neoliberal capitalist system and envisioned new future imaginaries. In particular, this is facilitated through the use of organized coalitions, social movements (including racialized and feminist resistance), and Indigenous “artivism”.
