Earlier today, we brought sustainability leaders together in London for a #Decarbonisation Workshop: a private breakfast session focused on some of the most persistent barriers slowing progress across real estate. 🚀 The workshop was designed to explore critical decarbonisation challenges facing the industry. One point came through clearly: the sector does not have an ambition problem as much as a delivery problem. EVORA’s Managing Director and Co-Founder Paul Sutcliffe, points out four structural challenges: 🟢 First, the performance gap between how #buildings are expected to perform and how they actually operate. 🟢 Second, the #capital allocation lag, where decarbonisation capex is still too often deferred while climate pathways keep moving.  🟢 Third, the split incentive between owners and occupiers, which continues to slow asset-level action.  🟢 And fourth, regulatory divergence and grid dependency risk, which make planning harder just as the need for action becomes more urgent. What makes this important is that these are not abstract #sustainability issues. They shape investment timing, retrofit decisions, operational planning and, increasingly, #value protection. It is becoming harder to rely on paper alignment, ratings or long-dated targets alone. The market is starting to ask tougher questions about what is actually being delivered at asset level. That is also why these conversations matter, because the industry needs a clearer view of what is getting in the way of execution. Thanks to everyone who joined us for such an open and thoughtful discussion. We look forward to following up on your commitment cards and tracking how your commitments are progressing.🤝 We will summarise the insights from todays session in an upcoming key takeaway guide – stay tuned… In the meantime, if you’re curious on our experts’ view on Decarbonisation in the Real Asset Industry, download our latest whitepaper ”The Delivery Gap” here: https://lnkd.in/e9HdVBVi
