L’érosion côtière est de plus en plus prononcée et les dégâts matériels de plus en plus importants. (...) Les conséquences sont multiples telles que des déplacements de population, la destruction d’infrastructures, la destruction d’écosystèmes fragiles comme les mangroves.

Ps. 14, 15, 26, 51

La dégradation de l’environnement, qui est à la fois une cause et une conséquence de l’accroissement de la vulnérabilité physique, se manifeste par différents phénomènes telles les mauvaises pratiques agricoles et de gestion de l’environnement (déboisement, destruction des bassins versants et dégradation des côtes marines), l’exploitation forestière abusive et les migrations massives des populations dans les zones à hautes potentialités agricoles qui ont accéléré la déforestation.

Coastal erosion is becoming more pronounced and the material damage is increasing. (...) The consequences are multiple, such as the displacement of populations, the destruction of infrastructure, and the destruction of fragile ecosystems such as mangroves.

Ps. 14, 15, 26, 51

Environmental degradation, which is both a cause and a consequence of increased physical vulnerability, is manifested through various phenomena such as poor agricultural and environmental management practices (deforestation, destruction of watersheds and degradation of marine coasts), abusive logging and mass migration of populations to areas of high agricultural potential which have accelerated deforestation.
