University of Cape Town

UCT leads research in resource efficiency to maximise social value and reduce waste, promotes sustainable development through responsible mineral beneficiation and harnesses nature to protect and restore ecosystems across the continent

UCT’s research focuses on the proactive achievement of optimal health, fostering a future where individuals, communities and cities not only combat disease but increasingly avoid disease to flourish

UCT’s research in this area includes studying the environmental dynamics of southern Africa, developing solutions to address the region’s challenges and opportunities and translating global goals on curbing biodiversity loss locally

UCT’s research is rooted in Africa’s unique urban, rural, environmental and economic landscapes while addressing globally relevant challenges.
