People power | Tony Myers | TEDxButterfish Cove

يرى توني مايرز، المختص في الاستدامة، أن التقدم في البناء الأخضر يعتمد على الكفاءات البشرية بقدر اعتماده على التكنولوجيا. ويشير إلى أن مبادرات البناء الأخضر تنامت منذ عام 2013، لكن قاعدة المواهب ما تزال محدودة رغم تحسن التقنيات وتشديد معايير أداء الطاقة في المباني. أُلقيت هذه المحاضرة في فعالية TEDx منظمة بشكل مستقل.

• نمو مبادرات البناء الأخضر منذ عام 2013
• نقص الكفاءات في الوظائف الخضراء
• تشجيع الجيل القادم على الانضمام إلى قطاع الاستدامة
