Drawing from the greenhouse theory of climate change and the pollution haven hypothesis, this study contributes to the literature by addressing three critical issues. First, we examine the effect of renewable energy on climate risk. Second, we explore the intervening role of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the renewable energy-climate risk nexus. Third, we determine the minimum threshold required for renewable energy to minimise climate risk. The analysis was based on 47 African countries and estimated using the generalised method of moments (GMM) and dynamic panel threshold regression techniques. The GMM technique is essential due to its ability to address endogeneity issues in the model. Also, the dynamic panel threshold technique is employed because it is built on the principles of GMM and provides an estimate of the threshold level and nonlinearities in the model. The empirical evidence presents a significant negative relationship, suggesting that renewable energy minimises the surge in climate risk in Africa. Second, the findings reveal that the weakening effect of renewable energy on climate risk is contingent on FDI. Third, the dynamic panel threshold results demonstrate that the minimum threshold required for renewable energy to reduce climate risk is 56%. Beyond this level, renewable energy presents a significant negative impact, implying that high renewable energy consumption lessens climate risk. Policy recommendations for boosting renewable energy consumption to alleviate climate risk have been provided.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101285,"journal":{"name":"World Development Sustainability","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772655X24000211/pdfft?md5=b44b57124e24e152d9393b72de5820ec&pid=1-s2.0-S2772655X24000211-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140195669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is not only an adaptive response to the climate change challenge, but also a dietary diversity improvement measure, to achieve food and nutrition security. Further, improved sorghum production will supply emerging agro-industries, especially specialty foods, beverages and stock feed manufacturing in the country. However, regional sorghum production efficiencies in Zambia are not well known. This paper attempts to evaluate regional sorghum production technical efficiencies (TE), as well as Total Factor Productivity (TFP) change from 2011 to 2022. To study these aspects, we apply non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) techniques such as the Slacks-Based Measure (SBM), and the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), followed by bootstrap OLS regression respectively. Cross-sectional estimates from the SBM model for the 2022 cropping season indicate that average TE for small and medium sorghum farmers in Zambia was 85 percent. Sorghum production could be expanded by 411.90 t by improving TE in five of ten provinces in Zambia. The MPI shows that TFP for sorghum production in Zambia declined by 21 percent, mainly due to deteriorating sorghum production technology. Populations, rurality, agro-ecological zone IIB are the factors associated with EC and TFP decline.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101285,"journal":{"name":"World Development Sustainability","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772655X24000181/pdfft?md5=7a3a7b75faca9710f274e22cf334ca09&pid=1-s2.0-S2772655X24000181-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140273385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an aspect of the broader urban system, gated communities have a preponderant effect on the urban fabric and the achievement of urban resilience. Under the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly Goal 11, resilience has become the preoccupation of urban planning and governance. Also, there is the realization that resilient communities are building blocks of a resilient and sustainable city. The paper argues that despite the increase in scholarship on gated communities in Ghana, no attempt has been made to relate the development of gated communities to urban resilience in spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, using systematic review methodology, the paper assessed the gated communities and urban resilience nexus in the rapidly urbanizing city of Accra, Ghana. The results revealed a dichotomous stance which portrays gated communities as both drawbacks (fragments) and promoters (fractals) of urban resilience.

Moreover, capital investment spending does not Granger cause air pollution. Additionally, the percentage of renewables should be increased from a long-term perspective since they decrease environmental degradation.
