Exploring Informal and Formal Governance Linkages for Climate Adaptation in African Cities: A Qualitative Systematic Review
Communities living in informal settlements face significant challenges, including poor housing, limited access to basic services and increased exposure to climate risks such as floods and heatwaves. Collaboration and public participation are increasingly recognised as critical for effective climate governance. However, the extent to which people living or working in informal settlements are meaningfully included in these efforts remains unclear. …
Communicating Uncertain Climate Futures: Lessons From the Literature
There is increasing demand for information about future climate risk to inform climate change adaptation planning. However, climate change impacts are uncertain and complex, and climate information is often technical and challenging to communicate. To inform effective methods for communicating future climate information, we undertake a review of reviews of risk communication literature, with a focus on improving comprehension. We do not constrain…
Pathways to transformative adaptation in southern African cities: A criteria-based assessment in Harare and Durban
Transformative adaptation (TA) places emphasis on changing the underlying causes of climate risk. Little is known about how TA can be achieved in practice in southern African cities. This paper reports on a set of criteria, derived from the literature and transdisciplinary engagements, for taking TA from theory into practice. These are: fundamental/sustainable changes in thinking and doing; inclusivity; challenging power asymmetries; demonstrabil…
Fostering transdisciplinary research for equitable and sustainable development pathways across Africa: What changes are needed
The transformations required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals across the African continent demand new ways of mobilising, weaving together, and applying knowledge. Research, policymaking, planning, and action must be effectively inter-linked to address complex sustainability challenges and the different needs and interests of societal actors. Transdisciplinarity (TD) – the co-production of knowledge across disciplines and with non-aca…
Operationalising climate-resilient development pathways in the Global South
National and sub-national actors are grappling with how to urgently move from climate change commitments to widespread actions that drastically reduce the risks posed by a changing climate and greenhouse gas emissions driving this change in tandem with addressing socio-economic inequalities. A pivotal challenge is how to cohere and sequence interventions in light of competing priorities, changing risk profiles and deep structural inequalities. Id…
Enablers of transdisciplinary collaboration for researchers working on climate risks in African cities
This study explores enablers that help researchers to undertake collaborative transdisciplinary work with non-academic actors to co-produce knowledge on complex climate risks in African cities. Enablers were explored using a qualitative case study approach and expansive learning theory, which emphasises the embeddedness of practices in cultural and historical contexts. Concepts associated with expansive learning helped to consider relational enab…
Exploring the role of transdisciplinary learning for navigating climate risks in African cities: The case of Lusaka, Zambia
Power dynamics in transdisciplinary research for sustainable urban transitions
Transdisciplinary Research (TDR) fosters collaboration amongst stakeholders from different academic disciplines and sectors of society, to jointly search for solutions to complex challenges including rapid urbanization. In order to enhance collaboration and ensure reciprocity of expertize amongst stakeholders, flattening the hierarchy of power is critical for working together to develop research agendas and experiment solutions. However, context …
