This research paper profiles the state and trends in wastewater management and sanitation delivery in Africa; highlights the human health and ecosystem impacts of poor sanitation and wastewater management; and discusses the continent’s policy and institutional arrangements.
This working paper is based on the EDM Toolkit, first published in 2017, an innovative technical approach for inclusive and integrated energy planning for local governments. In 2018 IIED and CAFOD, with local partners, Caritas Kitui and the Kitui County government in Kenya, applied EDM in Kitui to develop investment-ready solutions for the Kitui County Energy Plan (CEP). It focuses on the methodology used in developing the CEP rather than the proposed solutions as the CEP is still in draft form and yet to be finalized by the county government of Kitui.
This report, the first of three, provides a framework that helps adapt policy tools to promote circularity, material and energy efficiency and support sustainable markets for circular cars and services.
Using identical surveys a decade apart, this study examines how attitudes and willingness to pay (WTP) for climate policies have changed in the United States, China, and Sweden.
Expert practitioners and decision-makers from the government, NGOs, indigenous peoples and the private sector from different continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America) joined a discussion on existing approaches and financial incentive measures for biodiversity mainstreaming. The report summarises the contributions as well as the most important conclusions and is of interest to anyone who would like to keep up to date on how financial incentives can ensure greater consideration of biodiversity in business.
