Social Equity and Net Zero: Real Estate’s Role in a Just Transition
The transition to net zero will usher in tremendous potential for transformation within economic, environmental, and social realms. These shifts have the potential to generate significant wealth, improve health, and bolster climate resilience.

The goal is to ensure everyone benefits from efficient, cost-effective, and healthy buildings and energy systems, access to economic growth, and a regenerative economy.
