Sustainable Development In Algeria

Authors : Lagha H. . Bachi A. .

Abstract

Like the countries of the world in general and North Africa in particular, Algeria faces many ecological challenges. The National Report on the State and the environment, which served as a basis for the preparation of the National Action Plan for the Environment and Sustainable Development, reveals resources of constantly deteriorating soils, limited and low quality water resources, urbanization Uncontrolled industrialization, a poorly controlled industrialization generating industrial pollution causing serious public health problems. Algeria has gradually become aware of the need to adopt a sustainable development (SD) approach and has developed an institutional and regulatory framework in cohesion with the enactment of laws on the environment and land use planning. Our objective in this communication is to show the development policy on which the national economy has been based since independence and the need to integrate the environmental dimension into its development process.
