  • Uneven resilience: Constructing a climate environmental vulnerability index for South Africa's urban core

    Open AccessJohann F Kirsten, Marinda Pretorius et al.ARTICLECities2026

    Urban areas in developing countries are increasingly exposed to climate risks, yet vulnerability assessments often remain generalised and fail to capture intra-regional disparities. This study addresses this gap by developing a Climate Environmental Vulnerability Index (CEVI) for municipalities in Gauteng Province, South Africa, over the period 2010–2024. The CEVI integrates 17 standardised indicators across three dimensions: exposure, sensitivit…

  • Enhancing local economic development through biofuel production in Limpopo, South Africa

    Open AccessLouisa Hlungwani, Marius Venter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Infrastructure Policy…2025

    In wealthy nations, biofuel usage has grown in importance as a means of addressing climate change concerns, ensuring energy security, and promoting agricultural development. Because they understand the potential advantages of biofuel for rural development and job creation, governments have created policies and legislation to encourage the production of biofuel. However, the province of Limpopo hasn’t fully taken advantage of the potential to use …

    Open AccessManuel A Zambrano‐monserrate, Gonzalo Hernandez Soto et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2025References: 3

    The transition to sustainable energy is a pressing global challenge, yet the influence of gender on energy policy remains insufficiently examined. Most existing studies on women's political empowerment (WPE) and environmental outcomes rely on single indicators of energy transition, overlooking its multidimensional nature. This paper addresses that limitation by developing a comprehensive Energy Transition Index (ETI) and analyzing the effect of W…

  • Can Digitalization Bridge the Gap? Exploring Human Development and Inequality in Gauteng Province, South Africa

    Open AccessClinton De Bruyn, Kazi Musa et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2024References: 2

    Despite global progress in reducing inequality, disparities persist and worsen in certain regions. While wealthier countries experience unprecedented human development, poorer nations, including South Africa, struggle. Digital innovations have transformed sectors like business, education, healthcare, and finance, yet the gap in digital access mirrors the gap in development. This study focuses on Gauteng Province, South Africa, a region highly pro…

  • Promoting Sustainable Local Economic Development Initiatives: Case Studies

    Open AccessPaul Baur, Tsakani V Khosa et al.BOOKPromoting Sustainable Local…2022References: 40

    This book endeavours to outline case studies that promote sustainable Local Economic Development (LED) initiatives. It is generally believed that local governments are the foot soldiers of LED. However, this seems to be a myth, as local governments in South Africa and elsewhere have not yet fulfilled this mandate and have been struggling for several years to implement LED initiatives. The distinctive merit of this book lies in the way it combines…
