Global climate change is a challenge undisputable in the intervening time. The Global South countries are the most vulnerable to global climate change. It is indicated by the prevalence of climate hazards including extreme temperatures leading to urban heat island effects(UHI, prolonged droughts, melting of ice caps, increased extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones, heat waves, urban flooding, sea level rise, and coastal erosion resulting in salty water intrusion into freshwater aquifers. This paper explores a framework for climate change vulnerability assessment in the urban planning process in cities of the Global South. A sample of 95 households was selected purposely for study. Data collection methods involved interviews by structured questionnaires, surveys, focused group discussions, observations, and documentary reviews. Quantitative data analysis was done using a statistical package for social sciences. Qualitative data were analysed by content analysis, narrative analysis, and interpretive phenomenological analysis. Results showed that climate change physical infrastructures, socioeconomic activities and livelihoods and ecosystems were vulnerable to climate change-induced flooding in urban areas. The study concludes that adoption of new urban planning process enhances resilience and sustainable cities and communities in cities of the Global South.

Climate change threatens the livelihood of rural communities that depend on climate-sensitive resources. The risks and consequences of climate change, to which rural areas are especially susceptible, are discussed in this review. The review summarizes previous studies on rural communities' susceptibility to the impacts of changing climatic conditions. Previous studies on climate change in South Africa's Limpopo Province provide the information used in this review. The findings indicate that rural communities are vulnerable to rising temperatures and unpredictable precipitation. The communities are exposed to higher temperatures, less rainfall, and intermittent drought. Subsistence agricultural and livestock production and water supplies are two examples of climate-dependent livelihood resources vulnerable to weather variability and change. These resulted in food insecurity and water scarcity in many rural areas. This review helps fill a gap in understanding the importance of assessing the vulnerability of rural communities with climate-dependent livelihood resources. The study recommends detailed community-based adaptation measures to counteract the detrimental effects of climatic stresses on people's means of subsistence. Adaptation policies to climate change could be strengthened by incorporating indigenous adaptation techniques and community voices into response efforts.

The development stagnation or lack thereof of rural areas in South Africa is fast becoming unprecedented because of the loss of much human capital to urban areas. Therefore, the paper aims to conceptualize and analyze the implications of the brain drain in rural areas. The central argument of this paper is that the unprecedented relocation of youthful and educated human capital from rural to urban areas perpetuates underdevelopment in these areas. This shift of skilled and educated population can be noted as brain drain and with the antagonist arguing that it is brain gain in urban areas. Consequently, rural areas experienced depopulation, which did not spark interest in investment toward development. In that, the proliferation of underdevelopment facets in rural areas can be attributed to the loss of losing human capital from people with skills, knowledge, expertise, abilities, and capabilities migrating from rural to urban areas. Therefore, most rural areas need more capacitated people to enhance their socioeconomic conditions. This conceptual paper adopts a literature-based methodology to assess and critique the repatriation of the brain drain from urban areas to rural areas and decentralize development to benefit people in rural areas. It finds that rural areas still need to be developed due to brain drain (loss of human capital) and rural-urban migration. It recommends that people with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience return to the communities to decentralize and reindustrialize rural areas for better living standards.

This paper aims to analyze the effects of biodiversity conservation on sustainable livelihood diversification of rural communities in South Africa. Global evidence demonstrated a nuanced connection between biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihood diversification. Biodiversity conservation is flourishing, and its industry has grown to a point where it accounts for a big part of South Africa's Gross Domestic Product. However, it remains a concern that the poverty levels in rural communities continue to rise, and there is no improvement brought by biodiversity conservation towards sustainable livelihood diversification. This is a theoretical paper that adopted the qualitative research method. The data for the paper was compiled through a desktop study wherein newspapers, scholarly journal articles, and government documents related to the effects of biodiversity conservation on sustainable livelihood diversification of rural communities in South Africa. Therefore, Document analysis was appropriate and selected to analyze the data. The paper found that balancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihood diversification remains challenging in South Africa. This makes it difficult for rural communities to have sustainable livelihood diversification. This paper concludes that biodiversity conservation needs to do more justice to ensuring sustainable livelihood diversification for rural communities in the country. Therefore, it recommends the government delegate candidates or departments to continuously monitor and ensure that nature reserves practicing biodiversity conservation give back to nearby rural communities. Biodiversity conservation policies and legislations in line with the development of rural communities should be reviewed, adjusted, and ensured that they have operated accordingly.

The financial management of commercial government agencies in South Africa has been beset by challenges in achieving financial performance despite efforts to conserve financial position. Investment decisions present a potential strategy for improving financial performance. Guided by contingency theory, this study seeks to explore the perceptions of finance staff regarding the impact of investment decisions on the financial performance of a selected commercial government agency in South Africa. The study employs a cross-sectional, quantitative research design, utilizing a questionnaire to gather data from 51 respondents. Based on regression coefficients, the analysis reveals a strong positive causal relationship between investment decisions and financial performance. In particular, the beta coefficient indicates that investment decisions significantly predict financial performance (? = 0.827, p < .001). These findings suggest that firms should prioritize investment decisions to improve financial performance and promote growth. Accordingly, we recommend that commercial government agencies prioritize investment decisions to improve financial performance and achieve organizational goals.

In recent years, the concept of Local Economic Development (LED) has gained prominence to enhance the economic well-being of communities at the grassroots level. In South Africa, a country marked by a history of inequality and spatial disparities, fostering LED has become crucial. Public participation is crucial in shaping the LED trajectory in South African municipalities. By analyzing existing literature, this article underscores the importance of inclusive and meaningful engagement of citizens in the process of LED, highlighting its benefits and challenges. In other words, this article explores the effects of public participation on LED in South African municipalities. This study adopted a qualitative research methodology. The study specifically reviewed secondary data to understand the effects of public participation on local economic development in South African municipalities. In conclusion, to address public participation challenges in LED, local government should design participation processes that actively involve all segments of the population, especially marginalized and historically disadvantaged groups.

With the increasing importance of carbon disclosure as a tool to reduce carbon emissions, the enduring question remains whether carbon disclosure reduces carbon emissions. This paper analyzes the rapport between "carbon disclosure and carbon performance" of 82 Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed mining and manufacturing firms grounded on data released from 2010 to 2021. The environmental disclosure index is used in this study to quantify carbon disclosure, and the carbon intensity of the selected firms is used to gauge carbon performance. Using IBM SPSS Statistics 26, the study discovers that carbon disclosure (p< -0.023) is negatively associated with carbon performance. It means that an increase in carbon disclosure minimizes carbon performance. Additionally, the study finds that carbon disclosure improves financial performance proxied by return on assets. The findings strongly support King Code III and IV's position that companies can improve environmental and financial performance by extensively disclosing environmental impacts. In this case, carbon disclosure can act as an instrument to improve corporate sustainability and counteract climate change. In line with the research results, it is recommended that policymakers in South Africa promote and adopt policies that compel and regulate companies to disclose their environmental impacts.

Recently, the concept of sustainable development has emerged as a solution to environmental problems. It is widely recognized that the choices individuals make in their daily purchases and consumption patterns have a significant impact on the environment. As such, it is incumbent upon everyone to adopt sustainable lifestyles and strive to preserve resources for future generations. One area where this can be achieved is through product development. Despite the importance of sustainable products, their availability remains limited. In this study, the analysis was performed on a popular electric cooker as a sample product. Various aspects of the product were examined, including the life cycle, the raw materials used, the processing stage, usage phase, and end-of-life. The goal of this study is to gain valuable insights and propose improvements for a more sustainable version of the product. The environmental impact of each stage of the product’s life cycle was also analysed. By this method, some practical approaches for specific steps can be proposed to make the product more sustainable and reduce the harmful impact on the environment. Overall, it is found that there were many opportunities to adjust the various stages of the product’s life cycle to make it more sustainable.

The paper engages with the phenomenon of large classes in higher education institutions in South Africa and its challenges to the quality of teaching learning. Most public higher education institutions in South Africa, in response to historical conditions, have enrolled students more than their capacity, resulting in massification and negative consequences on educational quality. There has been a plethora of literature on the teaching of large classes, however, few studies offer a comprehensive engagement on the challenges presented by teaching larges and its impact on quality of education as well as innovative strategies that can be used to teach and different learning pedagogies that can be used. This essay identified the challenges of teaching large class in higher education institutions due to massification and large enrolments and their implications on sustaining and enhancing quality of teaching and learning. In addition, I suggested several strategies that can be used to overcome the challenges of teaching large classes as well as how to monitor and evaluate these strategies with the aim of improving quality of higher education in the era of massification. Accordingly, the human capital theory was adopted. Furthermore, a qualitative research approach was applied in this study and a systematic literature review was used to collect and review information according to the guiding principles of the hermeneutic framework. The essay contributes to literature with the strategies to enhance quality of teaching and learning, student engagements and teaching approaches aimed at reaching all students in large classes.
