The first St Andrews Prize was won by Daniel Limpitlaw, a lecturer in environmental engineering and geographic information systems at the University of Witwatersrand, Johnannesburg, South Africa. His submission concerned the environmental degradation caused by early mining developments and the informal settlements that grew up around them - and the steps now needed to reverse the damage this has caused in southern African cities. Runners up at the 1999 seminar were Dr Jack Barkenbus, Executive Director of the Energy, Environment and Resource Centre at the University of Tennessee, Nashville, USA, and Ronnie Horesh, an economist at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Wellington, New Zealand. Jack's submission was to help mobilise local communities to develop and manage their own environmental solutions. Ronnie's entry described how governments could stimulate and reward public interest in environmental solutions through the issue of environmental policy bonds. |
