12	Law, regulation, and the promotion of renewable energy in South Africa Murombo, Tumai January 2016 (has links) thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD) in the School of Law at the University of the Witwatersrand / Many countries are under pressure to transition from fossil to renewable sources of energy. This pressure comes from multiple points including sustainable energy and climate change imperatives. The energy industry, especially electricity generation, is the main source of greenhouse gases, hence the significance of reductions in this industry. The purpose of this study was to conduct a legal analysis of the renewable energy law in the context of energy law generally in South Africa, to understand the regulatory function of law in promoting renewable energy. The study analysed government legal and policy positions, and the response by non-state actors to such policy positions and laws. Through a qualitative analysis of primary and secondary sources of law and public participation documents, the study found that; while South Africa is committed to renewable energy, its socio-economic, cultural, and environmental context superimposes other priorities that impede progress towards renewable energy. Several obstacles to renewable energy were identified, some internal to energy law and others external to it, coming from other areas such as environmental law, governance, economics, and behavioural sciences. Analysis at the convergence of environmental and energy law revealed misalignment and fragmentation as major obstacles to renewable energy. While barriers are common across the globe, countries cannot apply the same responses with the same results. Regulatory responses, beyond the traditional ‘command and control’ tools are context specific and tools that have worked, in other countries, may not be as effective in South Africa. Socio-economic dynamics determine the legal responses to the barriers to renewable energy or the efficacy of economic incentives to promote renewable energy. However, overall, law and regulation can, and must, play a crucial enabling role by removing barriers to renewable energy. Nevertheless, there are limits to the use law ‘as regulation.’ Renewables will not replace fossil sources yet; rather in the long-term, renewables should become a big part of the energy mix. Despite gaining price competitiveness, it is too early for renewables to displace conventional fossil sources in a context of entrenched structural and institutional obstacles. Concomitant technical, market, economic, and environmental and resource governance interventions are necessary to effectively promote an energy mix substantially composed of renewables. The study recommends that law should create an enabling regulatory environment for renewable energy. South Africa has not used law effectively enough to create this environment, thereby impeding the integration of renewable energy into its energy mix. Aligning energy and environmental law, among other incentives, can enhance this role of law. Legal reforms are necessary to remove the regulatory advantage afforded to conventional sources of electricity and level the playing field. / MT2017 Energy policy--South Africa Sustainable development--South Africa Environmental law--South Africa
13	The Continuity of Dispossession : Locating the Rights of Tenants in the Redevelopment of Urban Land Bexell, Alva January 2024 (has links) The rights of tenants to the spaces that they are possessors of but do not hold titles to is contested in practice in large scale redevelopment projects. This thesis takes a look at two specific instances of urban district redevelopment and renewal in Malmö, Sweden: the slum clearance of Lugnet in the 1960s and the attempts to densify Holma in the present day. Using the concepts of the power of law, property and dispossession the thesis asks “how have the rights of tenants been taken into consideration?” This thesis finds that there is a great discrepancy between legal and philosophical constructs of property and ownership – that have been articulated in law well before the modern age – and the “dispossessory tendencies” prevalent in urban planning. It also finds that the codifying of tenant rights in the communicative model of planning has little relation to tenants rights as possessors – users – of their everyday spaces. These rights are challenged by ideas of the public good and the large scale of redevelopment projects. / Hyresgästers rättigheter till de platser som de besitter men inte innehar lagfarten till har i praktiken åsidosatts vid storskalig exploatering av bebyggda områden. Denna uppsats tittar närmare på två specifika fall av sådan exploatering, som berör hela stadsdelar i Malmö. Det första fallet är slumsaneringen av Lugnet i centrala Malmö på 1960-talet, och det andra är pågående försök att förtäta Holma i de södra delarna av Malmö. Utifrån begreppen makt, egendom och besittningsrätt ställs frågan “hur har hyresgästers rättigheter beaktats i dessa situationer?” Uppsatsen finner att det finns en stor diskrepans mellan de juridiska och filosofiska sätten att tänka kring egendom och ägandeskap – så som de har uttryckts i lag långt innan den moderna tidsåldern – och de bortträngande tendenserna som är inneboende i stadsplanering. I uppsatsen framkommer det också att fastställandet av hyresgästers rättigheter i planeringens kommunikativa process har liten koppling till hyresgästers rättigheter som besittare – dvs. brukare – av sina vardagsplatser. Dessa rättigheter utmanas av idéer om det allmännas bästa och storskaligheten på nybyggnationen. power of law dispossession property ownership Malmö Lugnet Holma tenants urban planning redevelopment slum clearance densification modern history stigmatisation bortträngning egendom makt lag hyresgäster stadsplanering förtätning slumsanering modern historia Sociology Sociologi
14	Normotvorná pravomoc Evropské komise / The rule-making power of the European Commission Lenfeld, Jiří January 2013 (has links) The rule-making power of the European Commission, dissertation Mgr. Mgr. Jiří Lenfeld, M.A.; supervisor: doc. JUDr. Richard Král, Ph.D., LL.M. Charles University, Faculty of Law, Department of European Law Prague, March 2013 The aim of the dissertation is to analyse the role of the European Commission in the legislative process of the European Union with the focus on procedures for adoption of legally binding Union acts. The European Commission is one of the main institutions of the European Union. It represents and upholds the interests of the EU as a whole and manages the day-to-day business of implementing EU policies. However, to limit the role of the European Commission to that of an executive body would be misleading. Its role in the EU institutional system is much broader than that. The European Commission is the most important legislator among the EU institutions and is also empowered with an almost exclusive power to submit drafts of EU legal acts. The rule-making power of the European Commission could be seen from two different points of view. In a narrow sense of the word it could be seen as a power conferred on the European Commission by the Treaties to propose drafts and to adopt EU legal acts implementing legally binding Union acts. However, the exercise of the rule-making power may...
15	A structured approach to energy risk management for the South African financial services sector Botha, Erika 07 1900 (has links) Energy conservation, efficiency and renewable energy have become a vital part of everyday life and business. The increase in energy cost and the consequences of greenhouse gas emissions necessitates energy management and in particular energy risk management within organisations. Organisations need to manage the possible negative effect that the increased costs will have within the organisation. The present research investigated the introduction of a structured approach to energy risk management within the financial services sector of South Africa. The research followed a quantitative, non-experimental research design by using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to managers within the financial services sector. The research investigated the criteria for the implementation of a structured approach to energy risk management such as organisational requirements (culture, corporate social responsibility, management, and finance), governance, energy strategies (energy conservation, efficiency and renewable energy), risk identification, risk management and lastly communication and review. The research found that the structured approach to energy risk management should include the context within the organisation namely organisational requirements, governance and energy strategies. Thereafter the risks within the energy strategies need to be identified, analysed and evaluated, and control measures need to be implemented. It is important to monitor the various energy strategies continuously in order to identify corrections and implement preventative actions. The strategies need to be reviewed and communicated in terms of the various strategies to all stakeholders within the organisation in order to set continual improvement plans. Risk management should form part of the energy management strategies of organisations. The research showed that energy risk management plays an important role in the overall business strategy and that the vast majority of financial services organisations have already implemented some form of energy management. There are however aspects that are still lacking within management strategies that need attention. / D. Phil.
