The need for climate action is clear, but the way forward is not.

Where should investments be focused? How do we measure emissions reductions in a way that satisfies the scientific community, investors and the public?

In last month’s webinar, the mayor’s office discussed Los Angeles’ plans to develop a building performance standard, which will require decarbonization of new and existing buildings.

But you don’t have to wait. The Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) certifies portfolio-level plans to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Climate Accord, and localized climate risk assessments are an emerging best practice.

Join the LABBC to hear how and why some of our most forward-thinking partners are setting science-based targets for their portfolios and leveraging the latest climate risk assessment models to inform their investment strategies.

Key Takeaways

Keep Your Balance: Don’t get so caught up in reporting that you lose sight of the most critical piece: projects that get us net zero.
Start Today: Don’t wait for mandates from the SEC or government.
Work with Utilities: Get familiar with the incentives your utility offers, as well as plans they have for upgrading and maintaining infrastructure.
Claim Your Seat at the Table: Public-private cooperation is critical to navigating climate and transition risk. Science-backed data equips owners with the tools to contribute meaningfully to the conversation.
