Can setting a price for the carbon a company releases, help cut down real estate emissions? Carbon Pricing isn't a totally new idea; other industries view it as a pivotal strategy in their journey towards decarbonization. But for real estate? It's pretty much uncharted territory. Only 6% of real estate companies use it or plan to do so in the next 2 years. It is no silver bullet, but it does have the potential to change the way companies think and act when measuring and reducing emissions from their portfolios :) #realestate #sustainability #carbonpricing #climateaction #decarbonization

Reducing environmental impact is a priority for organizations across the world. Commercial real estate owners, occupiers and businesses will likely need to develop plans to #decarbonize portfolios quickly, and at scale. While pressure and demands rise, decarbonizing will require clear targets and roadmaps—but your strategy doesn't need to be complex.

America’s real estate carbon emissions are vastly behind Europe's, with only 3% of buildings being net zero. The PACE program and the DOE’s Building America Program are important ways to fund decarbonization strategies. Read below to discover more.

Real estate is responsible for 39% of global carbon emissions. As a real estate owner and occupier, as well as an industry policymaker, our government has significant influence on reducing emissions. So how can real estate decisions help our natural environment? We took the opportunity to explore this question at our Parliament House event: The Property Industry: Our Pathway to Net Zero. In a panel moderated by our CEO Daniel Kernaghan, we heard from David Atkins, department of climate change, energy, the environment and water; Richard Pittard, chief sustainability officer, Australia Post; Annabel McFarlane, head of strategic research, JLL; and Georgia Warren-Myers, head of ESG and risk, JLL. Assistant minister for climate change Jenny McAllister inspired us with a speech, also. More than 80 guests heard about the role of real estate in helping the Australian Public Service achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, with conversations around emerging trends, including the shift from energy efficiency to clean energy, and tenant and landlord collaboration.   Thank you to our clients, speakers and guests who joined us as we continue to pave the way for more responsible use of real estate in Australia. #JLLAus #Netzero #Governmentrealestate #SustainableFuture

2023 was the hottest year on record. But the world's biggest real estate investors didn't feel the heat when it comes to cutting carbon from their portfolios. As part of Bisnow's in-depth analysis of how real estate is really approaching decarbonisation, Ciara Long and Maddy McCarty checked in on whether more of the firms we analysed last year have a plan to cut emissions from their portfolio. The answer? No, not really. https://lnkd.in/eskv7k_U

This publication from RICS and partners is a good read especially if you're struggling with making a successful #netzero transition for your real estate portfolio. Consider this: 📖 "#decarbonization is about much more than #costs: with the right countermeasures, the #transition can also create new #opportunities. For those at the forefront, a wide range of new business cases, potential additional income and increased market penetration will be the result."

The real estate sector represents nearly 40% of global emissions. Decarbonizing our built environment is critical to reaching our climate goals. I am proud to have supported the publication of this practical guide to real estate transition planning and green governance from CRREM - Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor and EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association)! Here are some of the key elements covered in the report: -Decarbonization and target-setting are continuing despite the economic environment -Regulation and market demand is accelerating the creation of low-carbon and decarbonized real assets -However, for many organizations a gap exists between their commitments and aspirations and their implemented actions -This creates a risk of greenwashing that firms need to monitor and address -Effective transition planning is both a responsibility and an imperative for real estate leaders -Credible plans will have detailed targets, tangible actions, and clear CapEx planning -Despite challenges, a number of good practices have been identified for real estate decarbonization https://lnkd.in/eVwf-ytT #climate #realestate #netzero #emissions #climaterisk #transition #transitionplanning #sustainablefinance #decarbonization #buildings

A worthwhile read on how #realestate is not doing as much as it should to lower its #carbonemissions. This is worrisome. “Experts Bisnow interviewed identified myriad reasons for the lack of action by big real estate firms: #sustainability slipping down the agenda in the wake of a market downturn, a lack of any immediate financial imperative, and regulation creating increased burdens that actually hinder rather than help the push for decarbonization.” https://lnkd.in/esrUM5H5
