The Impact of COVID-19 on Climate Change and the Implications for Private Markets
The Impact of COVID-19 on Climate Change and the Implications for Private Markets
Climate change and COVID-19 - both predictable disasters, and yet real estate owners and managers appear largely unprepared. In this episode, Will Robson, Head of Real Estate Solutions Research sits down with Oliver Marchand, Head of Climate Risk Research to discuss what insights we can glean from the fight against coronavirus that can be applied to tackling climate change. They discuss if carbon emissions have lowered as much as the media suggests following a worldwide lockdown and what changes in behaviour we need to see to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Can we take the immediate action that may be required to flatten the curve for climate change as we have for coronavirus?
