NEW ULI REPORT SHOWCASES HOW CITIES AND THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY CAN PARTNER TOGETHER TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

摘要

City policy leaders and the real estate industry must work together when creating climate mitigation policies to maximize their effectiveness, according to "Decarbonizing the Built Environment-10 Principles for Climate Mitigation Policies," a new report From the Urban Land Institute (ULI). By the end of 2019, 31 U.S. cities set energy benchmarking policies, with 15 requiring that structures meet performance targets or undertake additional actions like energy audits, and over 70 cities have pledged to be carbon neutral by 2050. The 10 Principles report, a collaboration between ULI's Greenprint Center for Building Performance and the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) is intended to serve as a starting point for cities interested in engaging local real estate leaders during the shaping of climate mitigation policies, and for real estate organizations to increase their understanding of the potential impact of and ways of engaging on these policies.
