Africa, a continent exceptionally rich in biodiversity, is rapidly urbanizing. Africa's urbanization manifest the growth of its megacities as well that smaller towns and cities. The conservation planning practice will increasingly need to account for direct indirect impacts continent's urbanization. objective our study pinpoint outstanding challenges opportunities afforded by growing cities on goals practices. While there have been many studies development Africa these tended focus specific...
Studies of infrastructure have demonstrated broad differences between Northern and Southern cities, deconstructed urban theory derived from experiences the networked regions Global North. This includes critiques universalisation historically–culturally produced normative ideal universal, uniform infrastructure. In this commentary, we first introduce notion ‘heterogeneous configurations’ (HICs) which resonates with existing scholarship on urbanism. Second, argue that thinking through HICs...
Abstract There is a clear need for transformative change in the land management and food production sectors to address global challenges of climate mitigation, adaptation, combatting degradation desertification, delivering security (referred hereafter as “land challenges”). We assess potential 40 practices these find that: Nine options deliver medium large benefits all four challenges. A further two have no estimates but other Five mitigation (>3 Gt CO 2 eq/year) without adverse impacts...
Climate change is acknowledged as the largest threat to our societies in coming decades, potentially affecting large and diverse groups of urban residents this century urbanization. As areas house highly people with differing vulnerabilities, intensifying climate likely shift focus discussions from a general perspective who cities will be affected by change, how. This brings equity question forefront. Here we assess how events may amplify inequity. We find that heatwaves, but also flooding,...
Climate change is projected to increase the burden of food insecurity (FI) globally, particularly among populations that depend on subsistence agriculture. The impacts climate will have disproportionate effects with higher existing vulnerability. Indigenous people consistently experience levels FI than their non-Indigenous counterparts and are more likely be dependent upon land-based resources. present study aimed understand sensitivity system an African population, Batwa Kanungu District,...
The involvement of citizens and communities in processes that affect their lives livelihoods through co-production methods has gained currency recent years as a method to deliver place-based action capable advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. Co-production represents promising approach addresses criticisms leveraged against community-oriented participatory planning approaches. In this paper, we investigate potential advance different dimensions urban equality environments, including...
Climate change adaptation is increasingly considered an urgent priority for policy action. Billions of dollars have been pledged finance, with many donor agencies requiring that distinct from baseline development. However, practitioners and academics continue to question what looks like on the ground, especially in a developing country. This study examines current framing planned amidst low socioeconomic development considers practical implications this planning. Three overarching approaches...
Climate change presents substantial risks to the health of Indigenous peoples. Research is needed inform policy and practice for managing risks, with community based adaptation (CBA) emerging as one approach conducting research support such efforts. Few, if any, studies however, have critically examined application CBA in a or peoples context. We examine strengths, challenges, opportunities health-related settings, drawing on experiences multi-nation interdisciplinary Health Adaptation...
