Introduction: Global and local stressors have led to rapid declines in coral reef health. The high rates of coral degradation have motivated restoration initiatives worldwide. Evaluation of these initiatives has provided valuable information regarding coral restoration techniques and limitations faced by projects. However, most of the literature is focused on evaluating metrics related to fragment survival rate and growth, leaving a gap in understanding how social aspects such as governance structure affect project outcomes
Introduction South Africa has the dubious distinction of having amongst the highest rates of unemployment and inequality in the world. It is also one of the most emissions-intensive economies, measured in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per unit of economic output. The co-existence of high unemployment and high emissions intensity is not just a coincidence. South Africa’s history of segregation and apartheid has had profound implications for its development path. One outcome was an economy heavily based on mining, mineral processing and heavy industry, subsidised by cheap electricity.
South Africa has the dubious distinction of having one of the highest rates of unemployment and inequality in the world. It is also one of the world’s most emissions-intensive economies, measured in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per unit of economic output. Historically, both during and after apartheid, state subsidies have favoured capital- and energy-intensive industries. What policies are necessary to change the development path to be both more climate- and labour-friendly?
