    Madagascar

    Two major innovations have inter alia emerged from the land reform in Madagascar: (i)

    Spatial econometrics and analytical spatial economic modeling advanced significantly in the recent years. Yet, methodologically they are designed to tackle marginal changes in the underlying dynamics of spatial urban systems. In the world with climate change, however, abrupt sudden non-marginal changes in economic system are expected. This is especially relevant for urban development in coastal and delta areas where the probabilities of natural hazards such as catastrophic floods and hurricanes increase dramatically with climate change.

    contour bunding technology (CBT) for improved land and water management. Reference was made to
    existing literature and field surveys were conducted following georeferencing and quantification of existing
    land and water management technologies. Farmers’ perceptions towards the use of the most commonly
    applied technologies were assessed. Results indicate that CBT is widely adopted in farmers’ fields to

    To date, all global assessments have concurred that Africa is the Earth’s most vulnerable region to climate change. The severity of Africa’s vulnerability to climate change was confirmed by the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. Moreover, the International Research Institute for Climate and Society is warning of an El Niño that could result in above-average rainfall in the Horn of Africa. In spite of all these challenges, Africa’s determination to rise has never been stronger.
