People power | Tony Myers | TEDxButterfish Cove

Тони Майерс, специалист в области устойчивого развития, утверждает, что прогресс в зелёном строительстве зависит от квалифицированных людей не меньше, чем от технологий. Он отмечает, что инициативы в сфере зелёного строительства растут с 2013 года, однако кадровый резерв остаётся небольшим, несмотря на развитие технологий и более строгие стандарты энергоэффективности зданий. Выступление прошло на независимо организованном мероприятии TEDx.

• Рост инициатив в зелёном строительстве с 2013 года
• Нехватка специалистов в зелёных профессиях
• Привлечение новых поколений в сферу устойчивого развития
