Great news! City of Tshwane, City of Joburg, City of Cape Town & Ethekwini will introduce requirements to ensure that all future buildings are energy efficient - cutting not just electricity bills but also greenhouse gas emissions.
This forms part of the C40 Cities South Africa Buildings Programme, which aspires to make zero carbon buildings THE standard across South African cities.
The reason is simple: cities are huge emitters of carbon and they are vulnerable to climate change, said Mark Watts, Executive Director of C40: “South African cities are already seeing the effects of climate change, from the drought in Cape Town to the threat of rising seas and flooding in Durban."
WELL DONE!
SA leading cities strive to make all new buildings zero carbon

C40 Cities South Africa Buildings Programme, launched this week in Tshwane, aspires to make zero carbon buildings standard practice across South African cities.
Yesterday, Lenasia in Johannesburg hosted its 33rd Gandhi Walk - Lenasia (with special appearances of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa & Reverend Jesse Jackson)!
What makes this event even more special is the organiser's wish to turn the walk into one of Johannesburg's greenest walks! In line with this year's #GoGreen theme, featuring a plethora of green initiatives, they offset 15 tonnes of carbon emissions via the Wonderbag.
This offset project fights climate change and improves the lives of people in vulnerable communities by providing them with non-electricity heat-retention cookers that minimise the use of polluting and harmful fuel sources.
Yesterday, Climate Neutral Group hosted its first #CarbonTaxEssentials breakfast at The Maslow Hotel in Sandton. The objective: helping companies make sense of what South Africa's carbon tax rules are all about, why they are necessary and how businesses can reduce their tax bills by, for instance, offsetting their carbon footprint. Speakers included senior carbon advisor Silvana Claassen, and country director Franz Rentel, and our MD Rene Toet.
It was a hugely successful and more importantly climate neutral event: the Maslow, in partnership with our GreenDreams programme, is offsetting the emissions generated by its conferencing facilities!
We are planning to organize more of these discussions in due course. Watch this space!
