Comme l’a observé avec un brin d’ironie un ancien négociateur majeur de la Convention des Nations Unies sur la lutte contre la désertification (UNCCD), lors de la “Journée de la Terre” tenue à Bonn le 6 juin 2009 au cours de la réunion de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC), “Le changement climatique ne menace pas la planète. La planète s’en tirera très bien sans nous.” C’est en effet de nous dont il s’agit. La variabilité du climat est un facteur direct de changements dans l’utilisation des terres, causant, par exemple, des pertes de productivité agricole dans les terres arides pouvant se situer entre 50 et 100 pour cent. Elle concerne aussi tous les autres secteurs d’activité, bien au-delà de l’énergie, de la construction ou du transport. Les points de non retour de l’évolution de l’environnement s’approchent rapidement et une action collective et intégrée à tous les niveaux s’impose si l’on veut renverser les tendances actuelles de la détérioration des ressources naturelles, optimiser de nouvelles utilisations des terres, promouvoir des stratégies novatrices de programmation territoriale, ou encore faire face à la pénurie énergétique et alimentaire. L’expérience, cependant, montre que la lutte pour assurer le maintien des indispensables services que rendent les écosystèmes doit être d’abord menée et gagnée dans un contexte local.
As a former major negotiator of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) observed with a touch of irony, during the "Earth Day" held in Bonn on June 6, 2009 during United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), "Climate change is not a threat to the planet. The planet will do very well without us. "It's really about us. Climate variability is a direct driver of changes in land use, causing, for example, agricultural productivity losses in arid lands that can range from 50 to 100 percent. It also concerns all other sectors of activity, far beyond energy, construction or transport. Points of no return from environmental change are rapidly approaching and collective and integrated action at all levels is needed to reverse current trends in natural resource deterioration, to optimize new uses land, promote innovative territorial programming strategies, or cope with energy and food shortages. Experience shows, however, that the struggle to maintain the indispensable services that ecosystems provide must first be conducted and won in a local context.
