Exploring Transition Tensions in Public Opinion on the COP26 Coal Phase-out Deal for South Africa as Expressed on Facebook
The 2021 COP26 meeting presented South Africa with an $8.5 billion deal to reduce its heavy reliance on coal, sparking a renewed public debate about transforming the country's coal-fired energy system to address emissions, energy deficits, and declining services.This paper examines public opinion on this important energy transition initiative as expressed on social media.While the use of social media platforms for public deliberation on policy ma…
Climate Change, the Journalists and “the Engaged”
This paper explores the political dimension of mediated climate change communication and the role of climate journalists in it. While the increasing plurality of actors engaged in mediated ways of sensemaking around climate change is well documented, the role of journalists in facilitating engagement between actors is less clear, especially in Africa. Using an African relational framework (ARF) that emphasises inter-subjectivity and co-creative d…
From “Communicating” to “Engagement”
This study interrogates the conventional understanding of and practice within mediated climate change communication (CCC) as a forum where transformative ideas on sustainability practices are shaped. Besides the dominance of non-African contexts and epistemologies in literature analyzing the media-climate change and public nexus, there is little attention given to problematizing public engagement. Common assumption pitches “the public” on the one…

Economics of climate change adaptation at the local scale under conditions of uncertainty and resource constraints
This paper describes the design and application of a benefit-cost model to the city of Durban’s (South Africa) climate change adaptation options. The approach addresses the inability to compile an accurate damage-cost function for economic prioritizations at the local level. It proposes that uncertainty over climate impacts and the efficacy of adaptation responses, in conjunction with the lack of economic data, high levels of economic informality…
A dynamic ecological–economic modeling approach for aquaculture management
Environmental economic valuation and its application in environmental assessment
The development of economic valuation techniques and their potential applications to environmental assessment (EA) has evolved to the point where it is no longer necessary to question the purpose of conducting such a study, nor to wonder at the potential methods available and how they should be applied. In spite of these developments, and an increased emphasis on integrating environment, economic and social aspects into environmental management s…
