Environmental justice in societies in transition Globally, societies are in transition due to environmental challenges such as climate change, shifts in political power as seen in Europe and the USA, and social changes such as mass migration. All these changes and challenges pose a threat to the sustainability of the physical and human environment, and growing inequality threatens both the social and natural environment.

Although the aim of development is to create a more sustainable environment, the reality is often that only few people benefit while others are left to bear the brunt of the impacts and greater inequality. Environmental management should serve to translate environmental costs into wellbeing benefits for all of humankind and not just the privileged few.

South Africa is a good example of a society in transition where reducing inequality is one of the greatest challenges the country faces. Durban represents a good example of this challenge: the city boasts both plush upmarket residential suburbs and impoverished informal settlements at the other end of the spectrum. Durban also bears the legacy of apartheid planning with historical residential areas in the immediate proximity of large-scale industrial operations. In amongst this all is a rich natural environment in the form of the sea, estuaries, rivers, forests, and wetlands that lie within the city limits.

This is an ideal setting to engage with the conference theme; your participation is invited.

SIYANAMUKELA!*

Wow, where did the time go? The international conference has for so long been a dream for us South Africans, and here it is now—a reality. We have been blessed with a veritable army of volunteer helpers, all of whom have contributed to this great event, and we are deeply indebted to them all for that contribution. From the HQ staff through our various committees and our student helpers—a heartfelt thank you to you all for your contribution. No matter the effort, a conference without delegates is nothing, so it is with great excitement that we welcome you here in Durban and thank you most sincerely for being here. It is our earnest hope that you leave our shores intellectually richer and thinking about when you will visit us again. South Africa remains a truly remarkable country where as soon as we seem to find the answers, we find that the questions have changed. What we have come to learn is that the world is never saved in grand messianic gestures, but in the simple accumulation of gentle, soft, almost invisible acts of compassion, everyday acts of compassion. In South Africa we Ntsako Baloyi have a phrase called Ubuntu. Ubuntu comes out of a philosophy that says the only way for me to be human is for Conference co-chair, IAIA18 you to reflect my humanity back at me. Coca Cola Beverages, South Africa The common bond of humanity and decency that we share is stronger than any conflict, any adversity. Fighting for our convictions is important. But finding peace is paramount. Knowing when to fight and when to seek peace is wisdom. Ubuntu was right. Your presence at the conference will make a contribution to South Africa’s unstoppable journey to greatness, from the belief in us by the IAIA Board in awarding us the conference, through to the impact of your spending while here. We have worked hard to give a sparkling technical programme, with authentic South African experiences in the technical tours, welcome reception and cocktail dinner. The rest is up to you, so embrace it and enjoy! Ubuntu—I am because you are, you are because I am.

*”We welcome you” in Zulu, the home language of Durban.
