Flashback
Sir Daniels never minced words during last year’s maiden “African Continental Sustainable Built Environment Industry Summit” (ACEACFMS 2023) hosted by ACECN in collaboration with the GM Bamboo Eco-City Ltd and numerous other public and private sectors partners and sponsors.
Declaring the ACEACFMS 2023 as event to to be held annually as it came to a close, Sir Daniels had also earlier in his welcome address, underscored the important need for placing The African Built Environment in a position to transition from the current brown construction techniques to Green building technologies.
“Like it or not, the reality is that, new trends are transforming the way the industry operates, from the design phase to the actual construction process, particularly at this time that the whole planet faces eminent dangers of climate change by virtue of our old industrial actions and inactions that has brought us to this global climate emergency situation.
“Africans have always argued that Africa’s contribution to the current climate change catastrophe is insignificant compared to the West, that is true, however, what we fail to appreciate is that the problem was significantly created by the West but the solution lies in the hands of Africa and this is another 21st century industrial revolution for Africa to take advantage of” Sir Daniels had also intimated.
