ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the solutions to the challenges of Africa in her quest for the adoption of sustainable design and construction. The key methods by means of which Africa can make progress in the adoption of sustainable design and construction are categorized into self-acknowledging the current situation and condition of Africa, educating Africans on the need to live sustainably, taking disciplinary measures towards achieving sustainable development, and involving the local community in the sustainability construction process. All other methods identified would fit into one of the four categories mentioned. The chapter also presents a discussion of the roles of the government, the private sector, academic institutions and the rich in the journey towards the adoption of sustainable design and construction.
