The MIPIM Challengers initiative creates space for the next generation of professionals to share fresh ideas and new perspectives, and this year’s winners include Betsy Brady and Ioana Orzea.

Betsy & Ioana join James Fiske on this episode of The RICS Podcast to share their approach to rethinking embodied carbon as an asset, how we can educate others on driving sustainability in real estate, and young professionals’ drive to decarbonise the built environment.

  • The MIPIM Challengers showcasing how younger professionals are driving creative solutions to decarbonise the built environment
  • The importance of measuring and tracking carbon emissions throughout a building's entire lifecycle
  • Upskilling professionals by developing consistent carbon pricing methodologies and creating career paths focused on carbon management
