Accelerating Accountability: the Case for Carbon Pricing
At 37 percent of global carbon emissions, real estate is a major contributor to climate change and, while we often acknowledge the scale of our carbon footprint, the true impact of our “externalities” has not yet been considered.
Those who produce emissions must take financial responsibility for managing the emissions’ effect on society and the planet. To meet our Paris Agreement goal and address our industry’s responsibilities to tackle emissions head-on, we believe carbon pricing constitutes a key transformative tool and priority. This report explores the key question: Why Carbon Pricing? And underscores the business case and wider benefits of internal carbon pricing, and highlights best practice through case studies.
Accelerating Accountability: The Case for Carbon Pricing is a companion piece to C Change’s Universal Principles for Carbon Pricing in the Real Estate Sector recently published as part of the C Change programme.
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.
