INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

DATE:
07 – 09 December 2021
VENUE:
Zimbali Capital, Ballito, KZN, South Africa
Conference Overview

The idea that human societies must live and meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs has necessitated Sustainable Development (SD) discussions across the world. In Africa, there is a need for an integrated approach in addressing the situation. The conference will bring together Industry (private sector); the City (Municipalities); Academics (Researchers) and Funding Entities to deliberate key issues related to SD by putting Africa in the Centre of the discussion.

 

Please join us for what promises to be an exceptionally lively, engaging conference with many opportunities for both networking and professional development. The conference sub-themes include:

 

  1.  Industry/City/University Partnerships
  2. Water-Energy-Food Nexus (Wastewater/Renewable Energy/Sustainable Food System)
  3. Hydrogen as a commercial fuel (Hydrogen economy)
  4. Smart Cities and Sustainable Urbanization in the 21st Century through Research, Innovation and Partnerships
  5. Climate Change and Health (Indigenous Knowledge Systems)
