Countries on the continent of Africa have great natural resources in terms of minerals, energy, and good climate. However, these resources need to be developed for the benefit of its people. It has a large (around 1 billion) population which is spread across the continent in numerous villages which generally lack the amenities and services which most developed countries take for granted. It would be easy to assume that sustainable development should follow 'western' examples with migration from countryside to modern cities but the opposite is more likely to happen and more sustainable given the wide distribution of natural resources, renewable energy, and people. This seminar identifies key issues and how ASHRAE can be pro-active in guiding Africa toward sustainable development.
