EIANZ President, Bryan Jenkins, EIANZ SIS (Impact Assessment) Chair Lachie Wilkinson, Jon Womersley and others recently attended the International Association of Impact Assessment 2018 Conference in Durban, South Africa.

Of note, was the impressive opening statements from The Hon Albie Sachs of the South African Constitutional Court. The powerful session address was on the subject of "Do you have to be white to be green?". In just over twenty minutes he encapsulated one of the critical messages for the world about the importance of the environment to social justice and the survival of the human species.
