New paper: Implementing a Net Zero Carbon Strategy

Introducing the new INREV paper on ‘Implementing a Net Zero Carbon Strategy’, discussing the challenges in achieving operational net zero carbon in the real estate industry. 

The paper focuses on factors such as transparency, standardised reporting, and strategic planning at both the portfolio and asset level while underscoring the importance of collaborative efforts within the real estate industry's pursuit of a low carbon and environmentally responsible future.

Key highlights include: 

• Key challenges and practical solutions when implementing a net zero carbon strategy at both portfolio and asset level.
• Transparency and standardised reporting in the transition to net zero carbon are essential as what constitutes net zero is still evolving.
• The real estate industry must move toward a universally accepted definition of net zero. Achieving this remains challenging due to the diversity of strategies and market characteristics.

This paper underscores the importance of collaborative efforts within the real estate industry's pursuit of a low carbon and environmentally responsible future and is a follow on from the INREV Impact of Net Zero Carbon paper from November 2021.
