​Exploring profitable and impactful pathways for building a more resilient and sustainable real estate sector.

​Presented by CPC.

​From shifting policies to advancing technologies, the real estate industry is at a turning point in how it addresses climate risk and sustainability. For investors, the opportunities are clear: decarbonization, energy efficiency, and resilience aren’t just climate imperatives; they’re pathways to long-term asset performance and profitability.

​This session will explore the strategies, infrastructure, and data needed to make climate-smart investing mainstream across all property types, from affordable housing to commercial assets. Panelists will discuss how the current economic and political environment is reshaping investment decisions, how proof-of-concept projects are paving the way for scalable lending, and what tools and partnerships are required to build resilient portfolios that deliver both financial and social returns.

​Join an expert lineup of investors, developers, and lenders as they share how today’s capital can shape tomorrow’s climate-ready built environment.
