This report aims at monitoring and assessing sustainable development in Africa, and promoting a balanced integration of the three pillars of sustainable development.
Chapter 5 evaluates the natural resource base of economic and social development. Sectoral issues examined are sustainable land management, sustainable mineral resources development, freshwater resources, coastal and marine resources, sustainable forest management, biodiversity, climate change, drought and desertification, and natural disaster risk reduction.
