Five-Year Review of the Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development Outcomes in Africa (WSSD+5):

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.

The intent is to provide the reader with an overview of Africa’s progress in implementing its sustainable development agenda and to engender action on the part of all stakeholders, including Governments, civil society, the private sector and development partners, with a view to accelerating progress towards meeting Africa’s sustainable development goals.
