  • 9781783215393
Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: The RICS Sustainability Report 2024 uncovers trends and sentiment of 4,000 built and natural environment professionals in 32 countries across the world. In a sector that accounts for almost 40% of global carbon emissions, tracking attitudes towards sustainable practices helps foretell the rate of decarbonisation and identify real-world barriers to progress. This year’s report suggests that the global built environment sector is making progress towards adopting a sustainability-centric approach within the commercial property and construction sector. However, there is much room for improvement. The report shines a spotlight on the lack of understanding and action around embodied carbon, a green skills gap, prohibitive costs, and the low prioritisation of biodiversity considerations. These are all challenges the sector will need to address in order to meet global targets.
