Biography
Saskia Vanderbent is a lawyer based on the Gold Coast, in sunny Queensland, Australia. She holds a multi-disciplinary PhD from the faculty of Engineering and a Juris Doctor in Law.
"Saskia’s study of what works when investing in sustainable energy in remote and Indigenous communities will be a great boon to both those communities and potential investors. The text makes fascinating reading. Her conceptual tool, the Sustainable Development Proposition, makes application of that knowledge a little easier in practice."
Stephen Keim SC, Barrister-at-Law, recipient of the Law Council of Australia’s 2020 President’s Award and recipient of the Human Rights Medal, 2009, by the Australian Human Rights Commission.
"The tools in this book will ensure that your return on investment goes beyond a monetary return. You will have a sound basis to expect that your investments, and the partnerships that are formed with communities, are building capacity at the local level, and enhancing connectivity and opportunities with the broader economy in a way that is, dare I say, sustainable in perpetuity."
Craig Cowled, Engineer, Researcher, Educator, Worimi man.
"Saskia Vanderbent has provided a comprehensive insight into the diverse energy challenges being confronted globally and how communities are moving to address them. This prescient perspective takes its currency in the present circumstances facing the world."
Allan Fife OAM, Chief Investment Officer, Fife Capital.
