climate science is stark but politics bumpy

climate change…good news…

climate change…bad news…
“It is possible to restrict warming to 2C or less during the 21st century with at least 50% probability…...
…with emissions reductions of 5% per year but peak emissions would have to
happen by about 2020”
Informing Choices, 2009, UK Met Office
emphasis added
12
EU: 20% reduction in carbon dioxide by 2020 (30% if there’s
global agreement), 20% renewables by 2020
India: 24% voluntary intensity target by 2020
US: $80bn green stimulus, and maybe a 17% reduction in 2020 (but on 2005 levels)
China: 40-45% reduction in carbon intensity by 2020
negligible progress on international agreements... but significant pressures from national and regional targets

and our infrastructure needs to be resilient

Implications
24
Sorting out direct impacts is now basic hygiene Compliance should not be enough for leaders and
forward looking organisations
Disclosure and assurance will place increasing
importance upon responsible management
…and in a continuing tough economic climate,
eco-efficiency will become even more important
25
Joined up thinking - more effective & meaningful
engagement across organisations,
alignment of sustainability with planning cycles,
closer working between departments and functions
Re-examination of points of engagement with suppliers,
eg. landlord & tenant, FM & designers
Increase capacity through more holistic approach to
training provided to property, FM and energy professions
some cultural challenges…
26
Leaders waking up to the “Elephant in the Room”…
will a two tier market materialise with depreciation of poor
performing assets?
Valuing sustainability… linkages between sustainability
and long-term value increasingly clear
e.g. whole life costing and Capex vs Opex debate
some economic…
27
and be prepared for systemic shifts…
From an employer to an enabler of health and well-being
From a passive occupier to an informed and empowered consumer
From isolated assets to community service
From property as part of the built environment to part of the energy system
