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. If these changes are managed carefully, decarbonization can help dismantle social inequalities by prioritizing the needs, experiences, and opportunities of marginalized households. 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.

Five Innovations Enhancing “Cloudburst” Resilience
Extreme rain events are increasing in frequency due to climate change, and many cities’ infrastructure and landscapes are not equipped to manage the intense volumes of water. Further, storm and sewer drains are slow, expensive, and disruptive to update for higher volumes, and channeling water directly out of the landscape creates missed opportunities to enhance landscapes with green infrastructure, biodiversity, and restorative recreational space for urban residents.
