The weather might be awful at the moment and summer seemingly a fair bit away, but there has been some great news for Cape Town.

This city was voted as one of ’20 cities of 2020′ by the Ethisphere Institute, a New York business ethics and social responsibility think-tank, as one of ten cities in the world that are most likely to become a global sustainability centre by 2020.

Other top ten cities in the world were Toronto, Hyderabad, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, New York, London, Frankfurt, Curitiba and Melbourne.

Cape Town was acknowledged for its sustainable development programme in 2004 that aims to have ten percent of homes using solar power and ten percent of the city’s energy consumption coming from renewable sources by 2020.

“Cape Town is enjoying economic growth that will likely to continue through 2020 and beyond,” the Ethisphere Institute report said.
