PORTFOLIO OCTOBER NOVEMBER 2025
Unique number:
Due Date: 31 October 2025
INTRODUCTION
This portfolio focuses on key environmental challenges and policy implementation gaps that
shape sustainable development in the 21st century. The first part examines the top five
global environmental concerns, including climate change, deforestation, pollution,
biodiversity loss, and water scarcity. Each of these challenges not only threatens
ecosystems but also impacts human health, economic stability, and social wellbeing.
Practical solutions and best practices will be highlighted to show how local and global
communities can work together to protect natural resources for future generations.
The second part shifts attention to South Africa, a country with progressive environmental
policies but ongoing struggles in translating them into effective action. Five sectoral
examples will be analysed to demonstrate how overlapping mandates, limited resources,
and governance challenges affect practical outcomes. By linking theory with real-world
practice, this portfolio aims to show the importance of coherent strategies for achieving
sustainability.
