Green Sky Thinking Spotlight Green Debate
In collaboration with London South Bank University and Open-City
‘Educating the Industry’ is Green Sky Thinking’s spotlight Green Debate in partnership with the Edge Debate Series and LSBU.
Tackling the green-skills gap of mid-career professionals and the ramifications for their leadership in the next 30 years.
How do we educate the construction industry to enable the rapid delivery of low carbon retrofits of existing buildings in order to reach the UK’s 2050 carbon emissions targets?
- What technical skills do mid-career professionals need?
- What non-technical skills do they need?
- How can professionals be motivated to develop the necessary skills?
- What are the best ways to deliver them?
- How should young people already trained in sustainability engage with earlier generations who are not?
- What does the role of a ‘retrofit coordinator’ look like? How do we make it mainstream and what is the role of universities and the industry in developing it?
