Stern Medicine
UK report on climate change underscores the necessity for a green building revolution.
The Stern report to the Prime Minister by the former chief economist of the World Bank, Sir Nicholas Stern, predicts a 20 percent drop in world GDP by the end of the 21st century, from expected levels, if immediate actions are not taken to reduce the expected rapid rise of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning. The report concludes that “strong, deliberate policy choices by governments are essential to motivate change.” The Stern report underscores the need for governments at all levels to be positive participants in promoting green buildings, including requiring major energy-efficiency upgrades in all buildings, from current norms, both commercial and residential. There’s a good review on iNSnet.
