The Centre for Environmental Rights, representing MEJCON-SA and MACUA, submitted a formal objection on May 9, 2023, against Tetra4 (Pty) LTD's application to amend its Water Use Licence (WUL) for the Cluster 2 expansion of gas and helium production near Virginia, Free State. The objection argues that the Integrated Water and Waste Management Plan (IWWMP) fails to adequately assess risks of groundwater contamination, radioactive waste, municipal water stress, and the compounding effects of climate change on a region critical for South African food security.

This document is a formal objection letter from the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER), on behalf of the Mining and Environmental Justice Community Network of South Africa (MEJCON-SA) and Mining Affected Communities United in Action (MACUA), regarding Tetra4's application to amend its Water Use Licence (WUL) for the Cluster 2 expansion of gas and helium production near Virginia, Free State. The document includes the original objections and the corresponding responses from Tetra4, focusing on risks to groundwater, radioactive contamination, waste management, and the impacts of climate change on water security.

This case study describes RMI's efforts to make rooftop solar more accessible to low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities through inclusive Solarize campaigns. Between 2021 and 2022, RMI organized cohorts of 27 cities to implement bulk-purchasing programs combined with grants and community partnerships to reduce financial and administrative barriers to solar adoption.

This report by Zero Carbon Analytics examines Bangladesh's increasing reliance on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the resulting financial, energy, and climate risks. It argues that the pivot toward LNG has left the country vulnerable to global price shocks and power shortages while stagnating renewable energy growth, ultimately exacerbating the country's extreme vulnerability to climate change and heat stress.

This research paper assesses bilateral climate finance provided between 2016 and 2020 to ten developing countries with low governance scores, identifying a heavy skew toward mitigation and a concentration of funding from Japan to Uzbekistan.

This thesis examines how service design can be applied to development interventions in low and middle-income countries to improve environmental sustainability and social well-being. Using case studies from Kenya and Uganda, the research demonstrates that service design tools—such as prototyping, archetype construction, and participatory backcasting—can identify user value, enhance local agency, and map future development pathways. The work proposes an integrative framework combining service design with the capabilities approach to better navigate the complexity and non-linearity of social-ecological systems.
