The best way to face the often overwhelming task in hand when it comes to decarbonising the built world? Work out the difference between urgent and important. That is how Smith Mordak is handling the pressure of heading up the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) at a time of great, well, urgency. Easy to say, not to easy to do. Not least in the run up to an election where we will (in their own words) “probably be electing the last government that is going to have the power to do anything significant in a reasonable timeframe.” To find out how they work out where to direct their focus at a time when everything feels time sensitive, check out the full interview below. It is worth it just to hear their thoughts on what being a game changer means to them. One of the most intriguing, interesting answers I have ever heard. And if you want to see Smith speaking live alongside the equally brilliant Jacob Loftus and Kat Hanna on the Meet the Gamechangers panel at CREtech London on May 8th, you can register here https://rb.gy/zqolnl.

Launching the all-new CREtech Sessions Series - weekly spotlights on the speakers and session themes ahead of CREtech London in May. This series will give some context around how each and every hour of the two-day event has been carefully curated to deliver a programme that is unwaveringly relevant in the current market. Of course there will be sessions on AI. But from what perspective? How applicable will the discussions and keynotes be outside of the event? We will be hearing from the all-important occupiers. But what requirements and needs will they be bringing to the table and how will they relate to the wider real estate and tech sectors? We will be delving into the current state of the London offices market. But through the lens of a tower managing to buck the overarching leasing trend in challenging times. And we will be continuing the ongoing and crucial conversations around climate, decarbonisation and ESG from a different perspective by inviting speakers to ask difficult questions like “Are we suffering from carbon tunnel vision?” And “Has Sustainability had its day?”’(Bear with us on that one as context is everything…more to follow next week.) To find out more - and unlock a stealthy discount code - check out our first Sessions Series out today on our opening keynote featuring JLL’s Christian Ulbrich and JLL Spark’s Raj Singh. A fireside like no other. Michael Beckerman Lindsey Imperatore
