The Carbon Cruncg

摘要

This may not feel like arnparticularly happy new year for everyone in our industry. Times are tough and there is no escaping that fact. Does this mean green building goes out of the window in 2009? Absolutely not. This Building sustainability special is testament to the fact that the issue remains high on the agenda, and rightly so.rnNothing has fundamentally changed in terms of the urgency of the task ahead of us. The climate crisis, not to mention a myriad connected environmental issues, gets bleaker by the day. Some may prefer to bury their heads in the sand, hoping this is all some January nightmare brought on by an over-indulgent festive period. But the harsh reality is that we must find solutions that put green building at the heart of a low-carbon economic recovery. The good news is, if we get it right, it could mean a boost for new business growth, new jobs, and new skills.
