ULI Sustainability Outlook

About the ULI Sustainability Outlook

ULI is eager to keep our members abreast of the topics and issues on the rise in sustainable real estate. The annual Sustainability Outlook aims to inform members and the broader real estate industry on what sustainability topics and issues are on the rise for the year ahead.

ULI Global Sustainability Outlook 2023

In late 2022, the ULI Randall Lewis Center for Sustainability in Real Estate interviewed members of the ULI Americas Sustainable Development Council, ULI Asia Pacific Resilient Cities Council, and ULI Europe Sustainability Council to inform an “outlook” for 2023: What sustainability topics and issues are on the rise, why do they matter, and what actions should the industry pursue moving forward? Based on the knowledge shared by these experts, the Center, in collaboration with Ferguson Partners identified five issues that will shape real estate decision-making in the months ahead and beyond:

  1. Adjusting ESG Strategy for Macro-Economic Complications
  2. Embedding Transition Risk in Transactions & Valuations
  3. Harnessing the Power of Collaboration
  4. Addressing Global Flood Challenges
  5. Responding to Government Influence

A ULI global webinar was held alongside the release of the report in January 2023. Watch the recording to learn more.
