Archi-World Academy Saie Selection '11 Sustainability

Sustainable Development

The sustainable development issue concerns all the inhabitants of our planet and will have in the forthcoming years a leading place in the definition of the economic and political strategies.

On the level of the industry, many international actors are gradually committing themselves to decrease the toxic emissions in the field of construction, automotive industry, transport etc...

According to a recent survey, thanks to the innovating solutions currently existing, we could reduce the consumption of energy in the industrial sector by 60% with an immediate positive effect. This means that we are technically ready to play a determining role in the conservation of our planet insofar as many alternative solutions are already applicable today.

What misses is a real sensibilization on all levels of society.
