Using Real Estate as a Force for Good

In this episode to Fundamentals of the Future, EG Property Podcast’s series of discussions looking at real estate’s role in the climate crisis, EG editor Samantha McClary is joined by George Roberts, outgoing chair of the Property Advisers Forum and head of UK & Ireland at Cushman & Wakefield, Sarah Ratcliffe, chief executive of the Better Buildings Partnership and Emily Hamilton, head of ESG at Savills Investment Management, to talk about the very real need to close the skills gap when it comes to sustainability in real estate.

The BBP, with funding from the Property Advisers Forum, has launched a new training programme focused specifically on the advisory sector. The course, which follows the success of a similar training programme launched last year for portfolio, fund and asset managers, will be delivered by specialists Hillbreak.

Listen in to this 32-minute discussion to find out how vital education is within all parts of the real estate sector if the industry – as one of the biggest emitters of carbon – really is to play its part in solving the climate crisis.
