Shaping sustainable real estate at COP27
Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt | November 6-18, 2022
With the built environment responsible for around 40% of carbon emissions, real estate is a critical part of growing efforts to decarbonize our planet. This year’s United Nations Climate Conference (COP27) brings together political, business and environmental leaders to drive action around cutting emissions, mitigating the increasing impact of climate change and building resilience. Only by working together will we create a more sustainable future for all.
