Bringing Sustainable Development Home | Gaurav Shorey | TEDxBandra

Gaurav Shorey's role at TERI puts him at the epicentre of the green building movement in India. He is committed to impact our country's built environment, and to facilitate the design and development of green buildings across India. Gaurav believes in the connection between youth and environmentalism in India. In his talk, he is talking about our roots, the ones we belong to, and where we are headed towards. Gaurav serves as a director at a sustainable habitats consultancy service in New Delhi. He is the Area Convenor for The Energy and Resource Institute’s (TERI) GRIHA program, the Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment. Gaurav’s hope is for educational curricula and workforce training programs to delve deeper to preserve and adapt local design and construction techniques so that India’s construction workforce can work effectively in modern construction and help establish standard practice for sustainability in construction. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
