Sustainability is an issue that has become topical in recent years. It’s an indication of how progressive society continues to be as we strive to be more conscious of how we treat the environment, but more importantly how we impact each other as humans.
As with all new things there is a considerable number of aspects we don’t yet understand, which impresses the importance for us to be holistic in our approach. This starts with opening up the conversation and inviting more voices to the table. Doing away with the notion that these are issues well-appointed just for the esoteric.
The sustainability space continues to grow as we get closer to establishing global frameworks and measures that most western governments have committed to, yet there do not seem to be African representatives invited to this table. This brings to question whether the downstream impacts of sustainability to developing regions such as Africa are being comprehensively considered. This comes laden with the fact that Africa faces rudimentary challenges such as poverty, hunger, and poor health infrastructures.
Neville comes on to help us understand what sustainable resource management is, its importance on a local and global scale, and why we should care. His dedication and knowledge, specifically in the water, waste and energy sectors, gives him a firm understanding of global trends and impact to advise companies on strategy, design, and implementation. We talk about the Paris Agreement and explore the question of how ready Africa is for the fourth industrial revolution.
