Sustainable Real Estate Forum convenes leaders in London
The two-day Sustainable Real Estate Forum (SREF) brought together global investors, asset managers, and policymakers in London to discuss decarbonization and data intelligence in the real estate sector.
The Sustainable Real Estate Forum (SREF) concluded its two-day program last week in London as part of the London Climate Action Week 2026. The event focused on the significant role of the real estate industry in addressing climate change.
The forum gathered global investors, asset managers, and policymakers to tackle key industry challenges. Central themes included the decarbonization of the real estate sector, the strategic use of data intelligence to support sustainable practices, and the trillion-dollar transition within the housing market. Participants aimed to identify actionable strategies for advancing the sector's sustainability.
Industry experts emphasized the urgent need for decisive actions to improve building energy efficiency and accelerate the adoption of low-carbon construction materials. Discussions also explored how data science can be leveraged for more effective measurement and management of real estate environmental impacts.
The event also addressed the ongoing housing transition, which necessitates substantial investment in the coming years. Policymakers and investors deliberated on strengthening financial frameworks to support sustainable housing solutions while meeting growing demand.
