Report Summary:

The ULI C Change Survey offers critical insights into the real estate industry’s progress on transition risk and carbon pricing. Serving as an update to the comprehensive findings from last year's survey, the 2024 edition sheds light on how firms are managing transition risks, adopting carbon pricing strategies, and reallocating capital to mitigate climate-related risks.

The ULI C Change Survey 2024 reveals an industry increasingly aware of the importance of accelerating decarbonisation efforts, yet facing significant implementation challenges. Key findings include:

  • A notable 93% of firms now integrate transition risks into their investment decision-making processes. The approaches for this incorporation are continually evolving, driven by shifts in strategic priorities and new regulatory requirements.
  • Between 2023 and 2024, there has been an increase of 21% in the number of organisations which reported using a voluntary, internal carbon pricing mechanism.

However, the lack of industry take-up of carbon pricing is cited as a significant barrier, indicating a clear worry about the impact of early adoption of carbon pricing on competitiveness.

The ULI C Change programme aims to support our industry to speed up and scale up decarbonisation. For more information, please visit the C Change webpage.
