Considering the well‐documented impacts of land‐use change on water resources and the rapid land‐use conversions occurring throughout Africa, in this study, we conducted a spatiotemporal analysis of surface water quality and its relation with the land use and land cover (LULC) pattern in Mokopane, Limpopo province of South Africa. Various physico...

The aim of this two-volume book series is to highlight some of the most pervasive sustainability challenges that Sub-Saharan Africa faces. The two volumes contain 20 chapters that illustrate very diverse sustainability challenges throughout the continent, adopting interdisciplinary and problem-oriented research approaches, and methods from the...

途上国の森林減少・劣化に由来する温室効果ガス排出の削減等（以下「REDD＋」という。）は重要な気候変動対策であり、気候変動に関する国際連合枠組条約の第21回締約国会議（COP21）で合意された「パリ協定」にもその実施と支援を奨励することが明記されたところである。 REDD＋の推進には、途上国に対する資金と技術の提供が必要とされているが、公的資金には限界があることから、今後、REDD＋の取組みを拡大していくには、民間セクターからの資金や技術の提供が鍵となる。しかしながら、民間セクターがREDD＋に対して投資するには、排出削減クレジットが獲得できる等のインセンティブが必要（①）とされる。また、途上国がREDD＋を実施するには、COP決定を踏まえつつ、各々の国情に応じた排出削減量の算定...
