ULI Europe

In our latest ULI Podcast episode, recorded live at the C Change Summit in Barcelona, we sit down with Clemens Brenninkmeijer, Head of Sustainability at Redevco, to explore real-world challenges of driving decarbonisation in real estate. Clemens shares honest reflections on the difficulty of aligning long-term climate goals with short-term financial pressures — and what it really takes to make sustainability stick. From applying internal carbon pricing to managing transition risk and engaging tenants, this conversation is packed with insight and action. As Clemens reflects “Progress is being made — but it’s not fast enough, far enough, or urgent enough.” Watch now to hear how Redevco is confronting tough questions, testing bold ideas, and helping lead the way toward a net zero built environment: https://lnkd.in/ehdkSvDZ #CChange #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #RealEstate #CarbonPricing

The Emerging Trends in Real Estate® Global Outlook 2025, produced by ULI and PwC, was recently launched at MIPIM, offering a timely snapshot of the evolving landscape for Europe’s real estate sector. Based on a global survey of industry leaders, the report highlights the top issues shaping the agenda in 2025. For Europe, geopolitical instability and the escalation of war are the most pressing concerns, closely followed by sluggish economic growth. Yet, despite these challenges, the report also captures a more positive sentiment emerging across parts of the continent. With interest rates expected to fall and transaction volumes already rising year on year, there are signs that Europe may be on the path to recovery, albeit unevenly. Sector insights, investment flows, and regional contrasts all feature in this nuanced and timely read. “This year’s Outlook reveals a complex and rapidly evolving landscape for many of Europe’s nations.” – Simon Chinn, Vice President, Research & Advisory Services, ULI Europe Read the blog for a deeper dive into the European findings — the first in a series of three regional snapshots: https://lnkd.in/eD_yj4wV Plus: the recordings of both webinars exploring the Global Outlook 2025 in more detail are now available to watch on demand (links in the comments). #ETRE2025 #EmergingTrends #ULI #PwC #RealEstate #Europe #Investment #GlobalOutlook #MIPIM #Property
