NERSA has approved Karpowership; despite environmental concerns and legal argument
22 September 2021 4:40 PM
Guest: Liz McDaid | founder member at The Green Connection
Despite an ongoing legal fight and environmental concerns, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) on Tuesday approved three generation licences for floating powership provider Karpowership SA.
The Environmental group 'the Green Connection' has responded by saying that the organization is likely to institute legal action against the Karpowership. The organization's strategic lead, Liz McDaid, has described the decision as "flawed." She will join Mike Wills to explain her view and to assess the decision and its implications.
Liz McDaid is a South African activist who is the "Eco-Justice Lead" for the Southern African Faith Communities' Environment Institute.
The IPSOS 'Work from home' study
22 September 2021 4:30 PM
Guest: Stella Fleetwood, Service Line Lead at Ipsos
The pandemic will undoubtedly find increased resolve over time, but it does not seem that we will return to full-time commuting and packed office buildings.
The IPSOS Mori Market Research Organization has conducted a recent study into the ways in which the definition of an ideal work environment has changed.
Their study has shown that the majority of those working from home are not finding working from home challenging, but many miss their co-workers and technology.
A survey of employed adults in 29 countries for the World Economic Forum finds one in four now working from home more often than before the pandemic. The preference is for working remotely half of the time after it is over.
