Abstract:

South Africa is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world. This biodiversity is under threat from economic, social and climate change pressures. One mechanism that could be added to South Africa's conservation tools, is that of the biodiversity offset where certain activities are designed to compensate for unavoidable harm to biodiversity resulting from development. The concept and theory of offsetting is controversial however, and not all commentators are in favour of encouraging a formal biodiversity offsetting regime in South Africa. This dissertation will explore the conc

Abstract:

The quest for sustainable development has always involved the complex task of reconciling the need for socio-economic development with public health and environmental protection. This challenge has often emerged in the trade and environment debate but has most recently been evident in international trade in used electrical and electronic equipment (UEEE). While international trade in UEEE provides means for socio-economic development in the developing world, it also serves as a conduit for transboundary dumping of e-waste in the developing world giving rise to serious health and environmental

Abstract:

There exists a sense of global urgency in the rapid growth of biofuel policy documents. This urgency is especially apparent over the past decade. This is as a result of the shift to incorporate renewable energies into the generation sector to further instil the principles of sustainable development. Biofuels remain a controversial issue drawing both protagonists and antagonists in the debate around agriculture. Notwithstanding this dispute, many countries have moved to integrate biofuels as an essential component in their energy blend. As a result of this controversy and their many potential i

Abstract:

Protected areas, formally established by governments, are one the key methods of preventing natural resource degradation by excluding humans from accessing certain sensitive areas, or by regulating the activities within these areas. Protected areas are viewed as essential for conserving the biodiversity on which the human race depends. However, the "fine and fences" preservationist approach to conservation has proved ineffective and it has been determined that often degradation occurs due to a lack of synchronisation between communities and their environments. This has led to the development a

Abstract:

Regarding historical tendency and today&amp<br>#8217<br>s future estimations, the global demand of petroleum is expected to reach a huge amount and this will be supplied by fossil fuels. Turkey&amp<br>#8217<br>s geographic location will make it an optimum route for transportation between the energy-rich Caspian regions, and the energy-consuming nations of Europe. Therefore, the transboundary pipeline, the most efficient means of transporting large quantities of hydrocarbons across long distances over land, will gain importance and the decision of a route through Turkey is a logical selection.

Abstract:

The deteriorating state of South Africa's natural environment has been linked to the exponential growth in anthropogenic pressures associated with urban life. In the wake of dire water shortages and the onslaught of climate change, reports have shown increased environmental degradation and evidence of decreasing water, soil and air quality. The state of the environment has therefore raised concerns as to the legal relationship governing communication, engagement and accountability between citizens, government authorities, and the private sector.

Abstract:

It is estimated that South Africa has the eighth largest resources of shale gas reserves in the world. It is reported that shale gas extraction can have important benefits which include economic growth, poverty alleviation, carbon emission reduction and most significantly alleviate the current energy shortage. However the proposed extraction of shale gas using hydraulic fracturing requires large amounts of water and many hazardous chemicals which also risks water resource pollution. This can add to water stress and conflict because the Karoo is a semi-arid, water-deficient and drought prone re

Abstract:

The safe extraction of shale gas resources has become a controversial issue in the energy sector and within energy law and policy circle. These issues have transcended to other areas of the society such as the environment, public health, and geopolitics. In fact, in environmental issue and regulation, it has become a norm in the minds of many that finding a model individual to do the right thing is a onerous task. One solution to this problem currently would be to realise the benefits energy resource extraction presents by devising the right regulatory strategies to improve the compliance leve

Abstract:

Planning law has a significant role to play in facilitating and governing development within a country. In South Africa, a shift has occurred from the utilisation of planning laws to regulating development, to facilitating it. A key area of this legal discipline is spatial planning, which determines the ideal utilisation and allocation of an area for certain land uses. The history of spatial planning in South Africa, and more specifically in the Western Cape, is an interesting one as the planning system that exists is fragmented and fraught with confusion. This has resulted in issues, confusio

Abstract:

The environmental governance sphere in South Africa is fragmented. This fragmentation is exacerbated in the provinces. Fragmentation manifests in various ways, including, inter alia, structural fragmentation between the various spheres and line functions of government, fragmented environmental legislation which is silo-based and issue-specific, jurisdictional overlaps, and duplication of procedures and processes. Fragmentation poses several disadvantages and may ultimately hamper effective and sustainable service-delivery by government. The problem of fragmentation forms the crux of this study

Recently there have been a considerable number of calls for high seas marine protected areas to be established. The aim of establishing these marine protected areas is for the protection of deep sea features as well as for the implementation of an ecosystem approach combined with the precautionary principle.

Abstract:

The goals of conserving nature have changed over the last decades, but setting aside areas for nature protection is still a major part of environmental efforts globally.

The coastal zone represents an endemic ecosystem of geomorphic complexity, characterised by its dynamic state of transition and increasing sensitivity. It is widely acknowledged that the environmental complexities and distinctiveness of this area is an attribute matched only be its attractiveness for human settlement and resource utilisation.

Each of these jurisdictions is selected because of their particular ownership and regulatory model. The thesis analyses whether specific ownership or regulatory models will have implications for transparency. The terms “transparency” and “water utilities’ regulation” are first defined and form the thesis’ analytical framework. This is then applied against the three jurisdictions compared. B

Over the last decade, the effects of an unprecedented rise in global temperature due to climate change, on the enjoyment of human rights, especially the right to life, have been subjects of intensive scholarly attention. Gallons of juristic ink have been spilled on the need for States to adopt policy measures aimed at combating climate change. However, recent findings show that policy measures and projects aimed at mitigating climate change are in turn producing even more serious human rights concerns, especially in developing countries. These human rights issues include: mass displacement of

As a result outer space, especially the orbits around the Earth are occupied by countless masses of non-functional manmade objects, some expected to remain for millions of years. This dissertat

Abstract:

South Africa‟s current energy sector places undue reliance on fossil fuels to fulfil the country‟s energy requirements. The use of these non-renewable energy resources are unsustainable, as millions of tonnes of harmful emissions are released and estimates are made that these resources will be depleted within the next 100 years. Therefore the country has to source alternative energy resources. Renewable energy resources (for example solar energy) are considered to release little or no harmful by-products and have an infinite supply. Therefore the South African government has to promote the use

On the other hand, the world is still recovering from the major 2008 global financial crisis.
