Sustainable Transport and Mobility Handbook: Be there as South Africa engages on critical issues in an effort to make our economy and society more resilient to external shocks such as drought, run away oil prices, extreme weather events etc. Sustainability Week features sessions on Resilient Cities; Green Building; Water Efficiency and Protection; Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; Waste Minimisation and Recycling; Social Housing and the Green Economy.		Green Building Handbook: After 6 years of advocacy and knowledge sharing it is now fair to ask: why has green building not become standard practice for new buildings and refurbishments in South Africa?  This conference will explore the state of the market, policies and regulations in SA; showcase global leadership, successful policy and seek to create a consensus based series of recommendations for South African regulation authorities.		Waste Revolution Handbook: Is it possible to imagine a world with zero waste-to-landfill? What if packaging was minimised and all packaging was recyclable? All e-waste reclaimed by manufacturers? Imagine a policy framework which only tolerated this approach and charged a massive premium for collection of non-separated waste? We open the dialogue from the point of this vision and ask the sticky questions.

Renewable Energy Handbook: Day 1: Water and Climate Change – Adapting to Climate Change in SA will largely be a water issue. Day 1 will feature presentations, a workshop & a collaborative report. Day 2: Acid Mine Drainage – Finding Consensus and Proposing Action. Join leading stakeholders to interrogate the possible solutions in a constructive problem solving forum, which could save Gauteng from a calamitous outcome.		Energy Efficiency Handbook: Smart Grids for SA Cities – A more sustainable approach to energy requires a decentralisation of production typified by multiple small producers feeding into a two way grid that optimises peak demand through a matrix of buy/sell rates which incentivise users to adapt their demand to maximise their energy savings/income. This is not a new idea yet in SA smart grids seem a long way off – why?		Sustainable Water Resource Handbook: According to the Deputy Minister of Transport, Jeremy Cronin, the key drivers of transport emissions in SA relate to: a poor modal mix; a lack of sufficient mitigation incentives and problematic socio-economic geography. This Conference will use these points as headings for three distinct discussions. In each case a report back will be generated and circulated to government and the private sector.
