In transitions to a Green Economy, South Africa’s people are its greatest resource.

Healthy ecosystems…

are more than just natural ‘infrastructure’ they are the foundational assets and life support systems that provide critical services in support of human activities and wellbeing.

Environment professionals…

have a significant role to play in this transition, addressing the most pressing issues of our time including water and food security, climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty eradication.

Current skills shortages…
