Speaking engagements Robert regularly speaks on sustainability-related aspects to corporate and non-corporate audiences.

Writing
Robert periodically publishes articles and opinion pieces in the popular media and has been published in the Business Day, Personal Finance, Africa Geographic, MindShift as well as a number of in-house magazines.
How the book came about
The idea for Bending the Curve was conceived by Robert one day while hiking down Table Mountain. He had spent too many years reading about climate change doom gloom and felt it was time to map out what different sectors of society can do to tackle climate change and the many other environmental issues. He recruited a committed team of experts and Bending the Curve was born over a two-year period, with the first print-run published in January 2009.
