SAIIA invites you to a webinar where experts, thought leaders, and changemakers will delve into critical discussions surrounding the futures of green industrialisation and green infrastructure in the SADC region.

SAIIA invites you to the launch of futures-orientated policy research on Anticipating the Futures of Green Industrialisation and Infrastructure in the SADC Region. The webinar seeks to emphasise the urgency and necessity of transitioning towards a green industrial and infrastructure landscape that is characterised by resilience, regeneration, and equity. During the session, we will explore visionary scenarios and transformative pathways to regeneration for green industrialisation and green infrastructure in the SADC region, shedding light on the potential catalysts for industry transformation, be it through political will, climate-induced events, or emerging global standards and regulations.

This event will serve as a platform for experts, thought leaders, and changemakers to delve into critical discussions surrounding the futures of green industrialisation and green infrastructure in the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
