This book, which contains a collection of review articles as well
as focus on evidence-based policy making, will serve as a valuable
resource not just for all postgraduate students conducting research
using systems analysis thinking but also for policy makers. To our
knowledge, a book of this nature which also has a strong African
focus is currently not available. The book examines environmental
and socio-economic risks with the aim of providing an analytical
foundation for the management and governance of natural resources,
disasters, addressing climate change, and easing the technological
and ecological transitions to sustainability. It provides
scientific and strategic analysis to better understand the dynamics
of future energy transitions, their main driving forces, enabling
factors, barriers, as well as their consequences for the social,
economic and environmental dimensions of human wellbeing.
Science-based policy advice is achieved through an integrated
assessment and modeling of how to simultaneously address the major
energy policy challenges in the areas of environment (climate
change and air pollution), energy poverty (or access to affordable
and clean energy for the poor), energy security and reliability. It
also aims to improve our understanding of ecosystems and their
management in today's changing world-in particular, the current
state of ecosystems, and their ecological thresholds and buffering
capacities. It provides support for policy makers in developing
rational, realistic and science-based regional, national and global
strategies for the production of fuel, food and fibre that sustain
ecosystem services and safeguard food security. Finally, it
addresses the human development dimension of global change based on
comprehensive studies on the changing size and composition of human
populations around the world by analyzing both their impacts and
the differential vulnerabilities by age, gender and level of
education.
