How can data and technology can be used to address the net zero challenge?

11 January 2023

What are the major challenges in the built environment when it comes to net zero and sustainability? Why is it hard to get a whole portfolio to a net-zero position? What are the similarities and differences between the UK and other countries? What is the relationship between green building, ESG ratings and value? Are asset owners becoming more sophisticated in their approach to making their assets more sustainable? Do we need to focus on adaptation and resilience as well as net zero?

Tom Somers speaks with Andrew Knight as they discuss how data and technology can be used to address the net zero challenge.
