报告摘要：The ULI Randall Lewis Center for Sustainability in Real Estate accelerates action for sustainability in real estate and cities. The Center’s FY25 Impact Report captures its accomplishments and value to ULI members and communities, highlighting key impact areas and metrics across its four programs, Urban Resilience, Healthy Places, Decarbonization, and ULI Greenprint:

• Driving innovation and sustainability practices: Navigating global changes and disruptions—whether economic, environmental, technological or social—requires a forward-looking mindset and information. This year the Center:
  • Equipped members to stay ahead of the curve and issue spot with resources like the Global Sustainability Outlook and information on the emerging topic of refrigerant emissions
  • Helped members navigate the green energy transition with resources to align owners and tenants on renewable energy, and convenings that strengthen collaboration between utilities and real estate.
    
    
• Managing resilience and recovery: Recent years have seen insurance costs rise and the increasing frequency and scale of natural disasters. Through focused research and convenings, members gained insights and strategies to reduce risk, secure coverage, and respond to resilience challenges. This year the Center:
  • Delivered resources—including the Heitman-funded Insurance on the Rise report and an interactive search/reference tool on insurance underwriting—to aid members in insurance decision-making.
  • Helped prepare hundreds of participants for resilience challenges via ULI’s flagship climate adaptation event—the Resilience Summit. 
  • Helped set the stage for recovery with Advisory Services panels held in Colorado as part of the Resilient Land Use Cohort program.
    
    
• Decarbonizing buildings and communities: Whether it’s reimagining assets or navigating complex processes, the Center supports real estate professionals and communities with the knowledge and partnerships they need to make a lasting impact. This year the Center:
  • Created resources articulating the business case for adaptive reuse.
  • Supported real estate and community collaboration with a practical and easy-to-understand guide to real estate development for non-developers.
  • Worked with stakeholders to develop analytical tools for modeling pathways to decarbonization and provided an inventory of green building policies locally.
  • Catalyzed a coalition for green steel in APAC.
    
    
• Fostering healthy, thriving places: Together with local district councils and partners, the Center catalyzes and supports progress to decarbonize buildings, strengthen community resilience, and turn bold ideas into real-world impact. This year the Center:
  • Continued to drive decarbonization across cities globally with the Net Zero Imperative Program.
  • Featured resilience hubs as a strategy for improving climate readiness.
  • Elevated active mobility as a key opportunity and imperative for real estate and public leaders with forums in Miami and Amsterdam.
    
    
• Engaging members, shaping the industry: Through robust programming at Fall and Spring Meeting, learning networks, and collaboration with District and Product Councils, the Center supported learning and action on sustainability across the ULI networks. This year the Center delivered:
