Selected challenges from the Africa Forum Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 25
Challenge 1 : legal frameworks Lack of legislation and incentives which supports utilization or introduction of new technologies and innovations that support preservation of the environment". This results in overlooking the need to develop skills that are needed to use new technologies hence widening skills gaps and limited employability of the population mostly the youth and women... Example - building codes and standard in Zambia does not recognize installation of solar water geyser in design of the house. Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 26
Challenge 2: walk the talk, talk the walk We talk and talk about green jobs and green growth, but is the political will and institutional commitment there? If it is, why don't government just legislate to change our behaviour"? Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 27
Challenge 3: consumption patterns Is the promotion of green trade and industry really making any difference if WE don't change our choices and behaviour as consumers"? Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 28
Challenge 4: Private sector engagement How to engage with business and private sector on a green growth agenda? How profit and environmental concerns can go hand in hand? Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 29
Challenge 5: Scaling up Although (sub)sectoral approaches have proven te be effective how can we scale them up across the entire economy? How do we scale up small innovative projects that had a large impact? Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 30
Challenge 6: Policy coherence How to create income and jobs addressing inequality and protecting the environment simultaneously? What policy instruments can address this? Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 31
Challenge 7: Adaptive capacity "If we don't have a planet B do we perhaps have a Planet C"? If the green growth agenda does not work what is the alternative? Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 32
Challenge 8: Skills upgrade How to equip the private sector with people with the right skills for the transition towards the green economy? Livingstone / Victoria Falls, Zambia, 6 8 September 2017 33
