What's in the report?
In December, we asked our network of real estate professionals about the pressures, opportunities and priorities shaping the sector’s climate action agenda as we move into 2026. We’ve created a report outlining their responses and pairing them with insights from our consultants.
What to expect in 2026
The commercial real estate sector enters the new year with renewed but measured confidence, following a period of recalibration driven by higher financing costs, shifting occupier expectations, and tightening sustainability regulations.
Priorities for the year
Delivering decarbonisation and managing climate transition risk are top priorities for this year. Building resilience, managing physical climate risks and enhancing internal governance structures are key focuses too.
The main challenges for the real estate industry
Budget constraints and the ability to collect accurate data remain the greatest barriers to achieving climate action. Uncooperative occupiers are presenting a greater challenge, too, so engaging occupiers with the climate action journey should be a focus across the market for 2026.
