Argues that a confluence of several distinct but related factors is forcing the real estate industry to address climate change with meaningful measures. Identifies tenant space requirements, government regulations, and demands for socially-responsible investments, as the key factors driving a rapid transformation of property markets globally to greener construction and building operations. Suggests that the globalisation of property markets, and the rise of truly global investors are intensifying these trends. Forecasts good financial returns for greener buildings due to soaring energy prices and more affordable green technologies.
