The world is moving towards a green economy, and South Africa must do so too if it is to continue trading internationally. Our existing buildings and new projects must be designed, built, operated, maintained, and owned and operated more sustainably, and new infrastructure must be built according to green principles, so it does not use too much energy and water, and the country's quality of work needs to be done.
This is where you come in. But how do you make sure you can get some of this work?
The South African government has chosen nine areas to focus on in the switch to a green economy: agriculture, energy (clean and efficient), natural resource conservation and management (including mining), sustainable transport and infrastructure, environmental sustainability (including tourism education), green buildings and the built environment, sustainable waste management and recycling, water management, and sustainable production and consumption.
