Sustainability Week 2012: 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 Conference and Exhibition 2012: 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.		Vision Zero Waste Seminar and Exhibition 2012: 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.

Sustainable Water Resource Conference and Exhibition: 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.		Sustainable Energy Seminar 2012: 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 Transport and Mobility Conference and Exhibtion 2012: 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.

Green Business Seminar 2012: It can be argued that individual households have more power to change the world’s carbon footprint than industry or commerce do. The home-owner’s choices trigger a chain of events through the economy & environment. GHF communicates with homeowners & the public about how to improve environmental health, increase communities’ climate resilience, conserve resources & live healthier lifestyles.		Green Home Fair 2012: Is your business leveraging its green journey for advantage? SA’s imminent carbon taxation is about to enforce much greater levels of accountability for environmental impact on business but customer demand for low impact products and services will continue to be the largest driver of the green economy. The Green Business Seminar provides environmental leadership for business and industry in SA.
