Biofuels in South Africa: capacity exists, but execution is the constraint.
Agriculture, energy and infrastructure planning now need to align to unlock scale.

South Africa generates over 100m tonnes of waste each year.
The circular economy presents a clear opportunity for the built environment to rethink materials, reduce waste and unlock long term value.

🌱 Organic waste is a resource, not rubbish.
Australians generate 14.6 million tonnes of organic waste each year. Composting keeps valuable nutrients in circulation while reducing landfill methane.

En China no solo se están construyendo carriles bici, se están construyendo ciudades saludables y habitables. Ese es el modelo a seguir, conseguir que la ciudad vuelva a ser un lugar para personas, no coches.

They support biodiversity & play a vital role in our food systems. Yet bees face growing threats from human activities.
See how @UNESCO is working to protect them & support local beekeepers.

Sustainable buildings should do more than perform efficiently. They should strengthen the city around them.
See how 10 Parks Boulevard and 55 Eastwood combine resource efficiency with walkability, public spaces and urban connectivity.

The first-ever Club Med Resort in South Africa - valued at R2.1 billion - is officially open👏🌊
The beach-bush resort combo, with its coastal Club Med hotel and Vikela Safari Lodge, officially opened its doors to guests over the weekend.
Construction began in early 2024, and I visited the site in December 2025 while they were in the final phases of development. Construction took a total of 28 months.
The beach resort offers:
• 310 superior rooms
• 35 deluxe rooms
• 66 suites
The 18 000-hectare big-5 safari lodge, situated in the private Mpilo Game Reserve, offers 80 rooms.
Who’s visiting the new Club Med sometime soon? I would love to hear about your experience in the comments section.
