as part of its new conference cycle

The City and Real Estate Facing the Climate Emergency

May 2021 to autumn 2022

The urgency of climate change has become an imperative for our civilization, for each and every one of us, for Real Estate, for all those who build the City, and for all economic sectors.
The Paris Agreement and France's Stratégie Nationale Bas Carbone (low-carbon national strategy) provide a framework for the effort we all need to make to decarbonize our activities.
How can the real estate and urban sectors assume their share of the common objective, and more fundamentally, contribute to the collective invention of a new and desirable world?
How will these sectors apply national targets for reducing carbon emissions and adapting to the consequences of climate change at their own level, by 2030 and 2050?

That's the purpose of this conference,
