Opportunities & risks of decarbonisation in the built environment
Decarbonising the built environment could potentially address more than a third of the planet’s carbon emissions.
Doing so, however, is a mammoth task.
From retrofitting existing infrastructure, overcoming financial barriers, to finding ways of powering the built environment with renewable forms of energy, decarbonisation will require a collective and concerted effort among key stakeholders and all segments of society.
But decarbonisation also presents ample opportunities for businesses to leverage.
With nine in 10 commercial real estate occupiers targeting 100 per cent green-certified portfolios by 2030, enterprises can strategically green infrastructure and derive value from cost-effective low-carbon technologies – all while capitalising on increasing investor demand.
This plenary will discuss the key decarbonisation opportunities businesses can leverage and the short- and long-term challenges to navigate.
