provides cross-sectoral and multi-dimensional exploration of sustainable development and transportation in South Africa. Drawing on work from different disciplines, the book contributes not only to academia but also seeks to inform urban and regional policy with the view of contributing to the national aspirations of South Africa as espoused in the National Development Plan (NDP), 2030, National Spatial Development Framework (NSDF) Draft (2019), National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (NCASS) Draft (2019), Green Transport Strategy for South Africa (2018–2050), and National Transportation Plan (NATMAP), 2050. Adopting a multi-dimensional assessment, the book provides a background for co-production concerning climate change, sustainable development, and transportation in the Global South. The book contributes in its analysis of the institutional and legislative framework that relates to the climate change, skills and knowledge transfer, sustainable development, and transportation in South Africa, as these are responsible for the evolution of the green economy and transport sector in the country. The connections among different sectors and issues such as environment, transport modes, technology innovation, vehicle management and emission control, skills and knowledge transfer, legislative and policy framework, and the wider objectives of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), especially goals 11 to 13. The success stories relating to climate change, sustainable development, and transportation in South Africa are identified together with the best possible practices that may inform better environmental, urban and regional planning, policy, practice, and management. 606 $aEnvironmental management$2bicssc 606 $aSustainability$2bicssc 606 $aHighway & traffic engineering$2bicssc 606 $aEnergy technology & engineering$2bicssc 606 $aEconomic geography$2bicssc 606 $aEcological science, the Biosphere$2bicssc 610 $aClimate-Change Policy 610 $aClimate Change Management 610 $aSkills and Knowledge Transfer 610 $aTechnology Innovation 610 $aTransport Modes, Policy and Regulatory Framework 610 $aVehicle Management and Emission Control 610 $aSustainability 610 $aOpen Access 615 7$aEnvironmental management 615 7$aSustainability 615 7$aHighway & traffic engineering 615 7$aEnergy technology & engineering 615 7$aEconomic geography 615 7$aEcological science, the Biosphere 686 $aBUS070040$aSCI020000$aSCI026000$aSCI030000$aTEC009020$aTEC010000$2bisacsh 700 $aOdiyo$b John Ogony$01076160 701 $aBikam$b Peter Bitta$01076161 701 $aChakwizira$b James$01076162 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512164103321 996 $aGreen Economy in the Transport Sector$92586328 997 $aUNINA
