Institutional coherence, capacity and multi-stakeholder alignment shape the effectiveness of air-quality management instruments
Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) are strategic policy tools used to assess air quality, set objectives, and guide interventions at national, regional, and local levels. Despite their widespread adoption globally, air quality continues to deteriorate in many regions, raising concerns about their effectiveness in achieving intended outcomes. South Africa, with both an advanced air quality management framework and persistent pollution challenges…
Towards a common flow: Water law harmonization in Sadc member states
Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states often rely on shared water resources to meet socio-economic objectives. To ensure sustainable management of these shared watercourses, governments have committed to the obligations set out in the Revised SADC Protocol on Shared Watercourses. The Protocol calls for closer cooperation in the pursuit of sustainable utilization of these watercourses through the harmonization of legislation. …
Teaching environmental impact assessment in 2025: A state-of-the-art review
This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) teaching literature from 2012 to 2025, applying a SWOT framework to assess current practices and future directions. Drawing on a systematic literature review, it highlights key strengths, including pedagogical diversity, integration of theory and practice, and alignment with international best practice. Nonetheless, persistent weaknesses, such as disjointed cur…
Reflecting on three decades of environmental impact assessment (EIA) training and research in South Africa
Since the introduction of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in South Africa, many institutions have contributed to the advancement of the field. This is especially true for the higher education sector, which has done so through EIA training and research. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the current EIA training and research at higher education institutions in South Africa. We achieve this by undertaking a systematic review of environmen…
Developing a Deliberative-Delphi Method for Informing National Conservation Capacity Development Strategies
Conservation governance requires inter-disciplinary approaches aimed at bridging science, management, and policy divides, which introduces capacity development challenges in developing countries. In particular, there is a need to establish how best to direct capacity development efforts in order to achieve long-term conservation benefits. To help meet this challenge, a deliberative-Delphi method was developed and tested in Namibia based on an int…
Unique features of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in protected areas (PAs) – towards best practice principles
Protected areas (PAs) preserve ecological system integrity and biodiversity but are threatened by anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss such as land use change, direct exploitation of natural resources, land fragmentation, pollution, climate change, and invasive alien species. Internationally, environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a key policy instrument that guides development decisions that affect PAs, especially in the southern African…
What would environmental impact assessment look like if we started from scratch today? Designing better EIA for developed neoliberal nations
After more than five decades of practice, environmental impact assessment (EIA) has failed to convince sceptics that it represents value for money. It increasingly overlaps with constantly emerging sustainability requirements. The completed assessments are extremely long, exceed the cognitive capacities of decision makers to assimilate information, cannot address motivated reasoning, and therefore inevitably lead to trade-offs that threaten the v…
Using an Artificial intelligence chatbot to critically review the scientific literature on the use of Artificial intelligence in Environmental Impact Assessment
There is considerable uncertainty about the role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) might play in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), including into research. AI large language model (LLM) chatbots have the potential to increase the efficiency of EIA research, but their outputs can create concerns. This paper investigates the potential time savings achievable using LLM chatbots to undertake a critical review of literature focussing on the use o…
Towards glint and glare impact assessment best practice
Developing photovoltaic (PV) powerplants close to airports, major roads and residential areas could pose potential challenges related to glint and glare. Glint and glare impact assessment (GGIA) has subsequently become an important tool for assessing potential impacts. This study analyses of a range of GGIAs, standards, and guidance to recognise and make recommendations for best practice. Twenty GGIAs are conducted by various consultants from div…
Quality of Environmental Impact Assessment Reports for Lodge Developments in Protected Areas: The Okavango Delta Case, Botswana
This paper evaluates the quality of environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports for lodge developments in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, which is a wetland of international importance and forms part of a transboundary conservation area and world heritage site. A quality review of 31 EIA reports, approved between 2013 and 2021, was conducted by applying a context specific EIA report quality review package. The review package consists of four review …
