Operationalizing vulnerability and resilience interdependencies in drought risk management
Droughts, exacerbated by climate change, pose increasingly complex challenges for social-ecological systems worldwide. Traditional index-based methodologies capture vulnerability and resilience at an aggregate level but often overlook the nuanced ways in which these two constructs interact. To address this gap, this study introduces the Matrix-Based Drought Indicator System (MADIS) framework that operationalizes the interdependence between vulner…
Unpacking drought impacts and adaptive strategies in Morocco – perspectives from small-scale farmers
Droughts in North Africa are increasing in frequency and severity. The most vulnerable include small-scale farming communities and the associated small businesses with wide-ranging impacts and demands on local communities, food production, water allocation, and energy requirements. Our solution-orientated study supports the mitigation of impacts and the management of droughts in two case study areas within Morocco. A 2-day workshop was conducted …
Connecting power to people
Despite extensive investments and deregulation efforts, the issue of carbon lock-in persists in the Nigerian context and across much of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Recognising the value of citizen involvement in shaping energy transformation, this research advocates for the adoption of community renewable energy (CRE) in Nigeria. Drawing inspiration from paradigmatic CRE models in Germany and Denmark, the study explores the evolving landscape of lo…
Re-evaluating drought indicators
Enhancing drought resilience and vulnerability assessment in small farms
Historical environmental Kuznets curve for the USA and the UK
Exploring the contours of consumer heterogeneity
Hydrogen energy technologies are anticipated to play a fundamental role in securing a decarbonised energy future. While the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen energy systems remains nascent and is subject to a range of techno-economic constraints, potential scalability will also hinge on social acceptance. In response, this study draws on extensive national survey data to derive a comprehensive typology of domestic acceptance, which reflects multi…
Coupling green hydrogen production to community benefits
Hydrogen energy technologies are forecasted to play a critical supporting role in global decarbonisation efforts, as reflected by the growth of national hydrogen energy strategies in recent years. Notably, the UK government published its Hydrogen Strategy in August 2021 to support decarbonisation targets and energy security ambitions. While establishing techno-economic feasibility for hydrogen energy systems is a prerequisite of the prospective t…
Barriers to powering past coal
The feasibility of South Africa's just energy transition, as dictated by the speed of phasing out coal and scaling up renewables, will rest on a range of techno-economic, socio-political, and socio-technical factors. Interactions between these dimensions of the transition carry significant implications for energy justice. In response, this paper proposes the Just Transition Feasibility Framework (JTFF) to better evaluate how feasibility constrain…
