Advancing social equity in urban resilience planning
While considerable efforts have been made to improve urban resilience development, less attention has been paid to evaluating social equity concerns. This issue is particularly relevant for developing countries, such as Ghana, where inequality is growing. Using a mixed methods approach and drawing on semi-structured interviews, survey questionnaires, and document analysis, this study examines how social equity is applied to urban resilience. We f…
Exploring the realities of urban resilience
Cities in Sub-Saharan African countries, already vulnerable, are under increasing pressure from the impacts of climate change and its associated risks. Urban resilience has emerged as a development strategy for improving the capacity of urban systems to cope with, withstand, and mitigate the impacts of extreme events in cities. Using a qualitative research approach and drawing on semi-structured interviews with 20 practitioners in Ghana, the stud…

Advancing environmental sustainability
The goal of simultaneously increasing economic development while mitigating ecological disbenefits is a significant challenge for many countries. There is a growing recognition that greater attention must be given to environmental concerns to maintain and improve biodiversity and generate positive ecological outcomes as part of measures to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many countries have increased their reliance …
Mitigating Corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa
In line with Africa’s Agenda 2063 goal 12 of improving governance and building accountable institutions, this article contributes to the literature by examining corruption determinants using survey data from the Afrobarometer. Quantile regression estimates across 31 sub-Saharan African countries show that the effects of the determinants of corruption are heterogeneous across the quantiles. We observe that press freedom, parliamentary oversight, a…
Environmental degradation and female economic inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa
The paper examines how environmental degradation affects female economic inclusion. Using Generalised Least Squares (GLS) and Instrumental Variable Approach in Two-Stage Least Squares (IV-2SLS), a panel of 22 countries in sub-Saharan Africa was analysed for the period 1990–2013. We observe that CO2 emission (metric per capita), CO2 emissions from electricity and heat, CO2 emissions from liquid and fuel consumption, and CO2 intensity (emission fro…
