Responding to the climate emergency
City governments across the globe are setting bold commitments to move to a net zero economy. Buildings account for around 60% of carbon emissions in cities and decarbonizing real estate will be crucial to meeting city net zero targets. The pressure on real estate owners, developers and occupiers will only intensify.
