Real Estate’s Business Case for a Just Transition
Decarbonization has come to real estate. However, will the technologies and systems decarbonizing the industry reinforce inequity, or disrupt it? How can real estate support low-income communities and communities of color in reaping the benefits of the net zero transformation and its wealth-building opportunities? And how can real estate make the business case for an equitable approach?
The business case for a net zero carbon real estate industry is clearer than ever, but the business case and “how-to” for embedding equity into decarbonization is not yet familiar to many. Join to hear how real estate leaders are decarbonizing equitably, drawing from ULI’s recent report, Net Zero for All: A Just Transition for Real Estate, and featuring leaders in the field such as Carlton Brown with Direct Invest Development and Satpal Kaur with SATPAL.
