Introduction consultative workshop, which formed part of a systematic provincial (3) KwaZulu-Natal Department of consultative workshop series targeting Human Settlements (2) The Science, Technology and Innovation government thought leaders, from for Sustainable Human Settlements University of KwaZulu-Natal (3) national, provincial and local Technology Roadmap (STI 4 SHS government. eThekwini Municipality Roadmap) will set out a 10 year plan for Stormwarning a coordinated investment and The purpose of the workshops was to Water and Sanitation collaboration between key stakeholders reflect on the current state of Environmental Planning and in pursuit of the Common Purpose. The technology in human settlements, Climate Protection STI 4 SHS Roadmap definition is to be envision a future preferred state, and Human settlements underpinned by intensive engagement, identify the technologies, innovations and extensive research (referenced and Research and Policy and capabilities and the necessary available for further scrutiny at “ingredients” to reach that state over www.sti4shs.co.za ). time. In order to engage relevant Fifteen participants from the following stakeholders, a number of distinct organisations are acknowledged for stakeholder groups were identified, viz. their active participation in the government and civil society, academia, KwaZulu-Natal workshop: private sector & industry and the investment community. In the first Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) round each stakeholder group is to be (2) engaged separately. This report records inputs from the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Housing Development Agency (HDA)

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 5
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. 6
South Africa’s urban future SA is expected to follow the worldwide trend - experiencing high population growth and urbanisation. Current projections indicate and additional 19-24 million people to be added to the country in the next three decades. Vast majority of growth to be confined to cities and towns 7
KwaZulu-Natal’s population estimates 2050 KwaZulu-Natal 4 596 071 KwaZulu-Natal’s population is projected to reach 8 14.7 – 15.7 million people by 2050
KwaZulu-Natal’s population estimates Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay and New Castle are expected to grow significantly. Population decline in Service Towns between Stanger and Richards Bay 46% of the province's total growth is projected to occur in the eThekwini City Region Area 11 Significant Growth along the coast
KwaZulu-Natal’s LM vulnerabilities • Socio-economic: Households vulnerabilities (household composition, income composition, education, health, access to basic services, safety & security) • Economic vulnerability: Economy of the LM (diversification, size of economy, labour force, GDP growth/decline pressure, inequality) • Physical vulnerability: Access & infrastructure (road infrastructure, housing types, density, accessibility within the LM) • Environmental vulnerability: Air quality, environmental governance, competition between ecology & urban encroachment) 12

Changes in drought Drought Index (SPI) 21
Impact of Climate change on agriculture (RCP8.5) 2050 Impact of CC on agriculture Warmer and wetter with more extreme rainfall events. #1 Sugar-cane Potential increase in sugarcane yield. However, increased exposure to pests such as eldana and chilo. Hotter and wetter #1 Milk and cream Hot and moist conditions cause increased spread of disease and parasites. Potential increase in heat stress which could negatively affect conception rates, milk yield and milk quality. 22
Impact of Climate change on agriculture (RCP8.5) 2050 Impact of CC on agriculture Warmer and wetter with more extreme rainfall events. #2 Beef cattle Increased water availability. Hot and moist conditions cause increased spread of disease and parasites. Reduced growth & reproduction performance due to heat stress. Hotter and wetter #2 Potatoes Increase in tuber yield due to increased concentration of CO2. Root crop plants benefit from elevated carbon dioxide levels due to higher rates of photosynthesis. 23
Impact of Climate change on agriculture (RCP8.5) 2050 Impact of CC on agriculture 5.42% Loss in Agriculture GDP 4.17% Loss in Agriculture GDP 24
Coastal flooding exposure Coastal flooding index 131 580 buildings are located in the coastal risk zone 12 buildings are located in the Very high and High risk areas 650 402 people are located in the coastal risk zone 73 people are located in the Very high and High risk classes 25
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)

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. Alignment with vulnerabilities and goals selected from the NUA, NDP, SDGs and IUDF • 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.
