Report Summary:

There are significant barriers to retrofitting European real estate, slowing down decarbonisation. The rate can be boosted significantly through widespread adoption of building renovation passports, already in use in several European countries. The Passport essentially acts as both a data log and a renovation roadmap. This briefing explores the current situation, what needs to happen next and how you can get involved. It is one of a suite of intervention points developed as part of the C Change programme. Intervention points are specific places within a system where we can target action, interrupting business as usual in order to drive transformation.

C Change is a ULI-led programme to mobilise the European real estate industry to decarbonise. We’re a movement empowering everyone to work together for a sustainable future. We connect the brightest minds from across the value chain. We challenge barriers, share expertise, and champion innovation to move swiftly to accelerate solutions that will transform our industry and protect our planet. C Change means real change.

C Change was formed in late 2021 by a group of leading real estate players that was united in its aim to focus on collaboration to ensure companies large and small have access to practical solutions and education on decarbonisation.
