The fight against global warming will create a vast investment opportunity and will pull the world out of the current recession. This will involve a massive industrial build-up, comparable to that which occurred in the US and elsewhere leading up to, during and afterWWII. The real estate industry will play an enormous part in this battle, since nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions are connected to the construction or running of buildings. This keynote address provided a better understanding of the dimension of the new energy revolution, what works and what doesn’t, and how this has an impact on the real estate industry.
Investors, developers, architects, and government leaders who are more and more concerned about their responsibility in the effort against global warming will find this presentation riveting.
