| description |
Over the past decades, Burundi's
economic growth has relied on steady depletion of its
natural capital, and as a result, the country's natural
environment has been substantially degraded. The main driver
of environmental degradation has been rapid population
growth. In particular, to feed the growing population,
substantial areas of forest have been cleared for
agriculture, and poor agricultural practices have harmed
soil fertility and integrity. Water resources have also been
degraded, affecting several sectors and public health. In
addition, biofuel burning continues to expose the population
to severe indoor air pollution. In some cases, climate
change is amplifying these consequences, particularly the
frequency and severity of natural disasters. Without proper
institutional arrangements in place, the environment has not
been safeguarded from the expansive forces. Further,
environmental degradation and resulting resource scarcity
have led to conflicts, and, in turn, conflict and fragility
have aggravated environmental degradation. |
