Background
•   Strong evidence that extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense
    with climate change expected to amplify these trends, particularly heat waves, floods,
    droughts, wildfires and storm surges
•   Strong evidence to support that Urbanisation will continue & that this will place even
    more pressure on infrastructure and service delivery
•   More frequent and intense events combined with a growing and urbanising population,
    poor land use practices, growing informal sector = likely exacerbate the vulnerabilities
    of communities and place more people at risk of climate induced disasters
•   Growth can be a catalyst for economic growth but effective planning and policy
    interventions are needed
•   Spatial planning will be vital to planning for peoples sustainable livelihoods

Rationale for the Green Book

        Knowing  what change to adapt for and how to adapt for this
           change is of critical importance to decision makers

             involved in the planning and design of human
                                    settlements.

          The Green Book was commissioned with the aim of supporting
        municipal planning on the development of climate-resilient cities and
                settlements through research in climate adaptation.

Implications for KwaZulu-Natal
     •   The significant population growth projected (4.5 million by 2050 for KZN) if not
         managed and planned for effectively, will place an enormous amount of pressure
         on bulk infrastructure delivery and will have critical implications for peoples
         exposure to natural hazards
     •   The growth projected for the coastal strip needs to be particularly well managed
     •   Increase demand for critical resources
     •   Very high economic vulnerability in LM’s and worsening signals for 11 LM’s & high
         socio-economic vulnerabilities (households) for 16 of the LM’s will make adaptation
         more difficult
     •   Heat stress on ecology towards the north east of the province (less severe than rest
         of country)
     •   Hot and moist conditions can cause increased spread of disease and parasites
     •   Warmer climate projections will have relevance for energy demand (increase
26       demand for cooling in summer due to maximum temperature increase)

                                Interventions identified in the desktop reviews, and in provincial consultative
                                workshops will be sorted according to opportunity clusters and prioritised in
        • Prioritised           accordance with “key issues” identified in the workshop engagement. The three
                                interventions obtaining the most votes per workshop will be validated.

                                The validation process will systematically evaluate costs, and benefits, per intervention
        • Validated             taking both demand and supply into consideration. These are to be compared to
                                existing capabilities in consultation with expert advisors. Overall likelihood of success
                                will be estimated, based on consolidation of validation criteria. Quick wins will be
                                identified.

        • Impact                will be assessed, to determine the potential impact of each intervention. The impacts
                                will be consolidated to cluster level.

                                Based on the prioritisation, validation, and impact assessments, the interventions will
                                be ranked according to their strategic alignment, value, likelihood of success and
        • Shortlisted           impact. This is the draft investment portfolio. Collaborators and partners will be
                                identified for the most promising technologies, and a draft implementation plan will be
                                co-created.
Draft roadmap
 The advanced Draft STI 4 SHS Roadmap is currently scheduled for June 2019. It will set out a 10 year plan for a coordinated
 investment and collaboration plan between key stakeholders. Following various targeted engagements, including the Provincial
 Consultative Workshop series, a Draft STI 4 SHS Roadmap Framework will be presented which will summarise the status quo,
 opportunities, define an investment portfolio and provide a detailed implementation plan.
