“…SUHI mitigation strategies using bluespace and green space could potentially realise synergies for SUHI mitigation and urban flooding [ 104 ], as well as support adaptation to climate change [ 123 ]. The possibility of harnessing both mitigation and adaptation benefits from bluespace and greenspace opens up a ‘window of opportunity’ to achieve climate compatible development, by simultaneously realising double- or triple-wins [ 124 , 125 ].…”

How urbanisation alters the intensity of the urban heat island in a tropical African city

Due to the combined effects of urban growth and climate change, rapid urbanisation is particularly challenging in African cities. Areas that will house a large proportion of the urban population in the future coincide with where natural hazards are expected to occur, and where hazard risk management institutions, knowledge, and capacity are often lacking. One of the challenges posed by rapid urbanisation is the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, whereby urban areas are warmer than the surrounding rural areas. This study investigates urbanisation patterns and alterations in surface UHI (SUHI) intensity for the Kampala urban cluster, Uganda. Analyses show that between 1995 and 2017, Kampala underwent extensive changes to its urban built-up area. From the centre of the city to adjoining non-built up areas in all directions, the urban land cover increased from 12,133 ha in 1995 to 25,389 ha in 2016. The area of SUHI intensity in Kampala expanded significantly over the 15-year period of study, expanding from 22,910 ha in 2003 to 27,900 ha in 2016, while the annual daytime SUHI of 2.2°C in 2003 had decreased to 1.9°C by 2017. Although SUHI intensity decreased in some parts of the city, elsewhere it increased, suggesting that urbanisation does not always lead to a deterioration of environmental conditions. We postulate that urban development may therefore not necessarily create an undesirable impact on local climate if it is properly managed. Rapidly growing cities in Africa and elsewhere should ensure that the dynamics of their development are directed towards mitigating potentially harmful environmental impacts, such as UHI effect through careful planning that considers both bluespaces and greenspaces.

“…Second, in multi-scalar and contested environmental fields characterized by uncertainty, such as transport transitions, cooperative governance approaches point towards bridging the views of the multiple stakeholders affected and intervening in transition processes [40]. The perceptions of multiple stakeholders operating within and across spatial levels become important in the development of a shared understanding of transition barriers [12].…”

A Political Economy and Multi-Stakeholder Perspective of Net-Zero Emission Urban Bus Transportation in the United Kingdom

The transition to net-zero emission urban bus (ZEB) systems is receiving increased attention in research and policymaking. Most studies in this area focus on techno-economic aspects and the views of a narrow group of stakeholders. This offers limited insight into the range of barriers that constrain transitions in real-world contexts. This article offers a political-economic and multi-stakeholder perspective on the technical and non-technical barriers to ZEB transitions within the UK context. It develops a theory-guided empirical case study, informed by stakeholder theory perspectives and semi-structured interviews with stakeholders in the local bus transportation system. It finds that a transition to net zero will require addressing technical, policy, market, and cooperative barriers across sectors and policy levels. On the one hand, this relates to high costs and performance uncertainties over ZEB technology and infrastructure. On the other hand, it concerns unsustainable bus networks from passenger patronage and coordination perspectives, stakeholder cooperative gaps, and high car use and dependency in urban areas. Policy portfolios and stakeholder collaborations, beyond a ‘net-zero’ and sectoral focus, could tackle barriers to system-level change. Further application of the theoretical framework can contribute to a broader body of knowledge about transition barriers operating in different political and economic contexts.

“…The characteristics of bilateral channels are assumed to be easily manipulated by vested interests and high desire for political expansion, specifically assistances involving asymmetric partnerships [6]. too time-consuming and often requires the "buy-in" actions to win the commitment of the people, making it more expensive to be applied in state-level governance [7] Theoretically, states should prepare its society to confront altered conditions. Complex changes require transformation of cultural norms, emergence of strong support groups, and changing competition patterns over scarce national resources.…”

Climate change and environmental degradation are several of the biggest contributing threats to business and economic sustainability, given the vulnerability of Indonesia’s geography and financial architecture. The financial crisis on the West has brought opportunities for Indonesia to pursue another source of assistance with less political intentions and loose concessional economic reforms. The Paris Agreement in 2015 also offers flexible mechanisms for developing countries to meet its target. DAC countries are known to contribute support of poverty reduction and environment assistance, while most of non-DAC countries build its core assistance in infrastructure development programs. However, other non-DAC countries demonstrate significant growth in environmental aid, as well as its capacity of delivery. This paper will establish an analysis to balance Indonesian dependence of foreign assistance for environmental conservation between those two types of donor countries. Using international assistance approach, this study will try to establish an argument prior to policy input for above circumstances. The study finds that there are no coherence and communications among policies and stakeholders in terms of aid compatibility to national development programs, funding schemes, harmonization of policies, valid measurements of emission reduction commitments.
