Section 1 focuses on governance and legislation (e.g. mandates, green procurement, institutionalising of sustainable energy concerns, etc.); section 2 on municipal sustainable energy initiatives (e.g. solar water heating, efficient buildings, sustainable transport, etc.); and section 3 on macro developments (e.g. smart grids, concentrated solar, ocean energy, etc.).

10.31MbDownloadThis is a short practical guideline for municipalities on how to use existing grants to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy infrastructure. The guidelines provides guidance and examples of energy efficiency or renewable energy projects for each infrastructure grant (SALGA, GIZ & PDG, 2017).
4.14MbDownloadThis study examined the potential for African cities to proactively govern climate change mitigation by exploring the constraints and enablers of local governance institutional structures in three smaller cities: Jinja in Uganda, Ga East in Ghana and Polokwane in South Africa. In Uganda and Ghana, uneven progress with implementing decentralisation reforms greatly limits local government action, while South Africa’s highly devolved governance structure and supportive national frameworks assist with greater local governance of low-carbon development. Systemic capacity and resource constraints within municipalities suggest a more collaborative mode of climate governance is required in African cities. (Louise Tait; Megan Euston-Brown)
