Seminar 'Green Infrastructure & Sustainable Real Estate'
What is the impact of President Trump’s policies on climate targets for infrastructure and real estate? To what extent should climate ambitions be re-evaluated or adjusted? How relevant or appropriate are initiatives such as BREEAM and GRESB in this evolving context?
How far do you want, can, or need to go to achieve net zero in infrastructure and real estate? What are the biggest challenges in creating impact in real assets?
How to measure and monitor your sustainability goals within your real assets investments? To what extent can AI, digital twins, and smart building data contribute to better ESG performance and steering within real estate portfolios? Should you invest in ‘dirty’ assets or assets at risk of becoming stranded - or not?
How to assess the resilience of your real assets investments to physical climate risks? How to mitigate those risks?
