L'artisanat des Briques de Terre a l'Epreuve du Changement Climatique : Dynamiques d'Adaptation autour des Techniques de Cuisson a Mbanza-Ngungu

Artisanal brickmaking in Mbanza-Ngungu, Democratic Republic of Congo, serves as a resilient economic pillar for rural and peri-urban communities, fostering technical innovation and community cooperation despite climatic challenges. While brickmakers adapt to resource scarcity through ingenious techniques, the process exerts significant pressure on forest resources due to high wood consumption for firing. The study highlights the urgent need for sustainable alternatives such as improved kilns, optimized brick formats, and alternative fuels to ensure ecological transition and long-term sustainability. This socio-anthropological research combines field surveys, semi-structured interviews, and participatory approaches with local actors to uncover endogenous knowledge and adaptive practices.
