About the Green Economy Academy
My labour of love!
"My inspiration to create an online Green Economy Academy came from my Green Talent days in 2010 , I had a vision to build human capital and to prepare a green workforce that is ready to meet the demands of a low- carbon economy. This was a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, to ensure greater accessibility to Sustainability Literacy for online learning is provided to marginalised groups affected by severe poverty and unemployment. More than 500 learners have benefited from the Green Economy Academy to date.
Today, in 2025, I am honoured that I can share my sustainability knowledge that I obtained over the past 15 years with anyone that are interested making a difference in this world. To promote equality, to leave no-one behind. We need more sustainability professionals and green businesses.
Sustainability knowledge is key to unlock new green industries, to decarbonise the South African economy, and to meet net-zero carbon commitments. There are only a few years left to peak emissions by 2030 and then speed up 2050 net-zero carbon emission reduction targets. The time to act is now.
Put on your green boots and join us!
May the knowledge nourish your curious mind and help you to discover green solutions to address social, economic and environmental problems in South Africa."
