Bending the Curve – your guide to tackling climate change in South Africa
Moving quickly from the most up-to-date science into practical tips, the book caters to a wide spectrum of readers, including business, government, architects and developers, investors, farmers, parents, you at home and many more.
Bending the Curve speaks to anyone who is keen to develop a lucid, current perspective on what we know about climate change and what we can do about it.
‘Read this book and join the growing number of South Africans who are doing something about climate change at home and at work.’ Kader Asmal
While international negotiations on climate issues are progressing slowly and may only be finalised when they are held in South Africa at the end of 2011, we are seeing a groundswell of countries, NGOs and individuals making noteworthy commitments and changes to benefit the planet.
Bending the Curve is packed with useful, hands-on information and editor Robert Zipplies, a consultant on corporate sustainability, has collaborated with an impressive group of experts who have contributed various chapters.
‘We are told that we need an elite that ploughs back; that filters down the line to every one of us. Going green used to be a trendy option and a marketing gimmick. Now it has to be a primary purpose. Bending the Curve is a positive step in that direction.’ Derek Watts
'...its pages are bursting with suggestions about how we can overcome this problem as part of a pro-growth, pro-jobs and pro-development climate policy.’ Marthinus van Schalkwyk, Foreword
