This paper analyzes the views of South African investment organizations on the likelihood of commodification of environmental risks in their investment decision processes. It is based on an empirical qualitative survey of 22 investment organizations, which are signatories to the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment.

This paper formulates a bioeconomic model to analyze community incentives for wildlife management under benefit-sharing programs like the Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) in Zimbabwe.

This paper uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration to estimate the coefficients of the determinants of international tourism demand for Zimbabwe for the period 1998 to 2005.The results show that taste formation, transport costs, changes in global income and certain specific event have a significant impact on international tourism demand.

The two main research objectives of the WRC project K5/1413 were to generate information that would be useful in guiding the efficient allocation of river water to South African estuaries and to test selected hypotheses on factors that explained willingness to pay for river inflows into South African estuaries.

In pursuing these objectives this project followed on and extended some of the findings from WRC project K5/1304.

This book provides economic guidance on the matter through valuable comparisons of different estuaries.

Given the overwhelming evidence available on the significance of freshwater inflow to estuary functionality in South Africa, it is clear that an important component of catchment management is the allocation of river water into estuaries.

This paper describes the development and rationale of a holistic and transparent approach for evaluating the ecological, social and economic trade-offs in water allocation in order to set the ecological Reserve (freshwater allocation) to aquatic ecosystems.

This paper uses empirical data on the crustacean and linefish fisheries to estimate the potential impacts of changes in freshwater flows on the industry, using a modelling approach.
