DISCOVER THE TRENDS THAT WILL SHAPE BUSINESS IN 2010 - Thursday 25th February 2010
The FLUX Trend Review is an opportunity to hit the “pause” button. The FLUX by-line is: “The state we’re in”, and the conference aims to provide you with a snapshot of “the state we’re in” across a number of industries that have a direct influence on our daily lives, the way we interact with each other, and ultimately, the way we do business with each other.

DRAFT STATEMENT FROM SA AND AFRICA CIVIL SOCIETY ON ESKOM’S PROPOSED $3.75 BILLION WORLD BANK LOAN

Muslim Statement on Climate Change
We the Muslims in SAFCEI wish to express our concern by the recent statement from Cabinet that since South Africa is a developing country, it must have "carbon space" so as not to jeopardise growth and development. Cabinet, we are told, wants to allow our emissions to continue to rise until 2020/2025, to then stabilize for a decade and only then decline from about 2035.

SAFCEI and Copenhagen - Challenge to the South African Government
News reports reflect an alarming trend that implies the possible breakdown of the Copenhagen international Climate Change treaty negotiations in December because the rich industrialised countries are increasingly obstructing them. We also hear even more alarming scientific evidence of the dramatic increase of CO2 emissions from 2000 to 2008. This sets us on course for a devastating 6oC temperature rise unless we take strong action in the next few years to reduce emissions.
