Résumé
L’Afrique possède d’énormes ressources naturelles et humaines, et dispose ainsi
d’un fort potentiel de développement socio-économique. Pourtant, très peu de
pays africains sont parvenus à employer ces ressources de manière efficace, et à
tirer les bénéfices escomptés à partir de ce potentiel. La plupart des raisons à
cette incapacité à générer le développement socio-économique et améliorer ainsi le quotidien des individus et des groupes de populations du continent ont déjà été établies. Cependant, il existe un facteur qui est souvent passé sous silence : l’effet de nos comportements négatifs envers l’environnement sur le développement. Cette communication affirme qu’il existe un fort lien de cause à effet entre ces deux éléments et propose un cadre viable d’intégration de ces éléments dans un modèle conceptuel. Ceci permettra d’inclure la communication
environnementale, et de là, la prise de conscience environnementale dans les
programmes de développement socio-économique.
