Part 19 - Sustainability Wrap

As a financial instrument, the Sustainability Wrap addresses the global challenge nexus of urbanisation, climate change and sustainability through the design and delivery of sustainability-smart communities, being defined as either an eco-district, precinct or city of any size. According to the ODI (Overseas Development Institute – a 60-year old London based think tank) by 2050, 6.5 billion people will live in urban centres – two-thirds of the projected world population. We believe that the construction of housing alone is insufficient for the creation of a sustainable community. What is required is a self-funding “sustainability wrap” comprising a range of development themes, each combined with one or more SDGs, effectively creating an investment model. The combined revenue generated through each of the resulting investment models constitutes the “wrap” applied in discretionary projects towards the well-being of occupants and their natural environment, without an additional call on the project finance. Relevant SCNiiC consulting is available, to create in appropriate applications, a detailed design template: including housing, sustainable infrastructure, urban master planning, a portfolio of fourteen investment models (jointly providing the WRAP) and a portfolio of sustainability products.
