What makes a greener building a better investment? Join CAFIID’s Climate Finance Community of Practice to explore how real estate investors weigh emissions reductions, climate risks and financial returns. The discussion will cover the costs and benefits of building upgrades, the challenges of financing them, and the implications for housing affordability.

Drawing on practical experience, the speakers will examine what works, where trade-offs become difficult, and how investors can assess whether their capital is delivering meaningful environmental results.
