Climate Change: No Time to Procrastinate or Procrastinate

When Landmark made its net zero pledge (the first property data business in the UK), we wanted to do everything we could to make a difference by acting in the name of climate change. rice field.

As a starting point, we reached out to our real estate and real estate industry colleagues to better understand what others are doing to mitigate climate change and to help our community as a whole address the challenges ahead. I figured out how I can help.

We had some engaging conversations and an inclusive discussion with experts who take climate change very seriously and are innovating and rethinking the real estate landscape for a better future both in the UK and abroad. We had a great discussion.

There is ample evidence from Earth itself that there is no time left to procrastinate or procrastinate. Even with current levels of global warming, the climate impacts are unpredictable and harmful. No matter how successful decarbonization efforts are, they cannot escape the need for large-scale investments in adaptation, with stronger political parties rising to protect vulnerable populations. ”

This is exactly what we heard from many of the innovators we spoke with. They use next-generation approaches to empower vulnerable populations, creating data collected by satellites, heat-tracking and frameworks that go far beyond the traditional.
