This open access book is interdisciplinary and provides cross-sectoral and multi-dimensional exploration of sustainable development and transportation in South Africa. Drawing on work from different disciplines, the book contributes not only to academia but also seeks to inform urban and regional policy with the view of contributing to the national aspirations of South Africa as espoused in the National Development Plan (NDP), 2030, National Spatial Development Framework (NSDF) Draft (2019), National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (NCASS) Draft (2019), Green Transport Strategy for South Africa (2018–2050), and National Transportation Plan (NATMAP), 2050. Adopting a multi-dimensional assessment, the book provides a background for co-production concerning climate change, sustainable development, and transportation in the Global South. The book contributes in its analysis of the institutional and legislative framework that relates to the climate change, skills and knowledge transfer, sustainable development, and transportation in South Africa, as these are responsible for the evolution of the green economy and transport sector in the country. The connections among different sectors and issues such as environment, transport modes, technology innovation, vehicle management and emission control, skills and knowledge transfer, legislative and policy framework, and the wider objectives of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), especially goals 11 to 13. The success stories relating to climate change, sustainable development, and transportation in South Africa are identified together with the best possible practices that may inform better environmental, urban and regional planning, policy, practice, and management.

This open access book focuses on an issue only marginally tackled by this literature: the still existing gap between adaptation science and modelling and the possibility to effectively access and exploit the information produced by policy making at different levels, international, national and local. To do so, the book presents the proceedings of a high-level expert workshop on adaptation modelling, integrated with main results from the “Study on Adaptation Modelling” (SAM-PS) commissioned by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) and implemented by the CMCC Foundation – Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change, in collaboration with the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM), Deltares, and Paul Watkiss Associates (PWA). What is the latest development in adaptation modelling? Which tools and information are available for adaptation assessment? How much are they practically usable by the policy community? How their uptake by practitioners can be improved? What are the major research gaps in adaptation modelling that needs to be covered in the next future? How? This book addresses these questions presenting the results of a study on adaptation modelling commissioned by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) enriched by the outcomes of a high-level expert workshop on adaptation also part of the research. This book aspires to provide a useful support to academics, policy makers and practitioners in the field of adaptation to orient them in the expanding adaptation modelling assessment literature and suggest practical ways for its application. This book, mainly addressed to academics, policy makers and practitioners in the field of adaptation, aims to providing orientation in the large and expanding methodological/quantitative literature, presenting novelties, guiding in the practical application of adaptation assessments and suggesting lines for future research. This open access book focuses on an issue only marginally tackled by this literature: the still existing gap between adaptation science and modelling and the possibility to effectively access and exploit the information produced by policy making at different levels, international, national and local.

Climate change governance is in a state of enormous flux. New and more dynamic forms of governing are appearing around the international climate regime centred on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They appear to be emerging spontaneously from the bottom up, producing a more dispersed pattern of governing, which Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom famously described as 'polycentric'. This book brings together contributions from some of the world's foremost experts to provide the first systematic test of the ability of polycentric thinking to explain and enhance societal attempts to govern climate change. It is ideal for researchers in public policy, international relations, environmental science, environmental management, politics, law and public administration. It will also be useful on advanced courses in climate policy and governance, and for practitioners seeking incisive summaries of developments in particular sub-areas and sectors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Ruim tien jaar lang deed Bill Gates onderzoek naar de oorzaken en gevolgen van de klimaatverandering. Samen met experts in de natuurkunde, scheikunde, biologie, techniek, politieke wetenschappen en financiën ging hij na wat er moet gebeuren om het afglijden van de planeet naar een gegarandeerde milieuramp te stuiten. In dit boek legt hij niet alleen uit waarom we de netto uitstoot van broeikasgassen tot nul terug moeten brengen, maar geeft hij ook aan wat we moeten doen om dit uiterst belangrijke doel te bereiken.https://www.hollandsdiep.nl/boek/158/bill-gates-hoe-we-een-klimaatramp-kunnen-vermijden.htmlhttps://www.hollandsdiep.nl/boek/158/bill-gates-hoe-we-een-klimaatramp-kunnen-vermijden.html

In het klimaatdebat wordt de mens vaak naast of zelfs boven de natuur geplaatst, in een vijandige relatie waarin de mens, gedreven door kortzichtige hebzucht, enkel uit lijkt op de vernietiging van de planeet. In dit klimaatessay schetst Manuel Sintubin een ander beeld van de relatie tussen mens en planeet. Vanuit een aards perspectief schrijft de mens zich immers in in een 4 miljard jaar oude traditie van een planeetvormende biosfeer. De mens is een geologische kracht die mee schrijft aan het aardse verhaal. De toekomst van de planeet ligt in onze handen. Wij zijn gepromoveerd tot de rentmeester van ‘onze’ aarde, met een verpletterende verantwoordelijkheid om ons vernuft ten volle aan te wenden voor het goed van mens en planeet. Deze positieve visie op mens en planeet vindt Manuel Sintubin terug in het ecomodernisme, net daarom in zijn ogen dé groene beweging van en voor de 21e eeuw.
