Project

City of Johannesburg | Towards sustainability and a low carbon economy

2018 – 2021
City of Johannesburg, South Africa
What we are doing
The City of Johannesburg wants to protect nature and ecosystem services, improve air quality, raise environmental awareness and better manage water and waste. We are supporting the city to achieve this by drawing on our wide-ranging climate, nature and urban systems expertise. Through this work, we are gaining a clearer understanding of the challenges facing the city and cities like it. This co-learning approach allows us to learn from them as much as they are learning from us. We share these learnings during monthly co-learning sessions and the co-production of plans, strategies, tools and campaigns.
What we are achieving
This Project supports the City of Johannesburg to secure, promote, enhance and protect natural systems and build resilience towards environmental sustainability for human wellbeing and economic prosperity through the following work packages: Local Biodiversity Strategy & Action Plan (LBSAP); Bioregional Plan; pilot Catchment Management Plan; Invasive Species Control and Management Plan; Ecosystems Services Assessment; environmental awareness; waste management and vehicle emissions.
