The biopsychosocial circumstances of homeless older persons (male and female persons, 55 years and older), specifically considered from a resilience lens, are inadequately described within the South African context. This study explored and described the biopsychosocial circumstances of homeless older persons in the City of Tshwane from a resilience lens. A qualitative research approach, operationalised through a collective case study, was implemented with 34 older persons across different research sites in the metropolitan area. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Transcriptions of interviews were analysed through a process of thematic analysis.Apart from a brief profile, six themes are reported; (1) the choice of areas where homeless older persons reside, (2) the causes of homelessness, (3) the adversities they face and (4) coping strategies employed by homeless older persons, (5) the services and professionals homeless older persons utilised, and (6) the voices of participants concerning their recommendations for the City of Tshwane. Considered from a resilience lens, recommendations for an integrated social services delivery framework are offered for mitigating the harsh circumstances of homelessness among older persons.

Globally, youth voices have emerged as critical in the climate adaptation discourse. Underpinned by Hart’s participation typology and Lundy’s Voice Model, this study explored the nature and level of youth participation being promoted by a civil society-led climate adaptation programme in Zimbabwe. A qualitative research methodology was adopted for the study. The results indicate meaningful youth participation in the mid to high level range on Hart’s ladder of participation in action focused at protecting and adapting their communities to climate change, influencing the climate adaptation agenda, and transforming the climate adaptation policy for sustainable development. However, poverty, adultism, and lack of government support emerged as barriers to higher level youth participation in climate adaptation. Integration of poverty reduction and climate adaptation, challenging adultism, and lobbying the government can enhance youth participation in climate adaptation in Zimbabwe and abroad.
