While each organisation may be at different points of their reporting journey, now is the ideal time to consider future climate related disclosures. With TCFD gaining steam, it is not a question of whether to implement, but how.
Key learning themes include:
- how TCFD challenges traditional ways of doing business
- experience applying TCFD recommendations and climate scenario
- analysis at real estate companies
- how to talk to your board about the TCFD
- understand investor expectation on climate related disclosure
- examining fiduciary responsibilities
Speakers:
- Alex Gold, Senior Manager Group Reporting, Dexus
- Sarah Barker, Head of Climate Risk Governance, Minter Ellison
- Sharanjit Paddam, Head of ESG Risk, QBE Insurance Group
Part of the Responsible & Resilient stream from TRANSFORM Online. As climate challenges become more urgent, how can we shape a resilient and insurable built environment for our future?
TCFD recommendations are rapidly becoming mainstream by virtue of their endorsement by major investors, regulators and many major companies worldwide. For example, signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) are required, from 2020, to adopt and report under the TCFD recommendations.
UNIPRI members, many headquartered in Australia, include some of the country’s major banks, investment managers and asset owners. But how does this specifically impact the property and construction sectors?
Now is the ideal time to fully understand the TCFD and implications for your organisation and your role.
Join our experts in this webinar to learn the fundamentals of the TCFD and the challenges of reporting for the built environment, and bring your questions to them.
Key learning outcomes include:
- Understand how the TCFD works and the key principles underpinning disclosure requirements
- Examine the recommendations around disclosure on climate change risk
- Examples of how the TCFD is being taken up by industry
As the world continues to transition towards cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy, innovation in solar provides new opportunities for energy storage and distribution.
Join us for this interactive session as our experts unpack the opportunities that solar and storage present for the built environment through a series of short presentations followed by a dynamic Q&A discussion.
Circular Economy in South Australia’s Built Environment: Action Plan was launched in June 2023. It identifies actions that government, industry, the education sector and other stakeholders can work on together to set the state on the path toward a thriving circular economy commitment to achieve a circular economy.
While some great examples from South Australia are showcased in this report, one of its standout features is that the opportunities identified can easily be applied or adapted for other states.
The impacts of climate change are already upon us and a resilient built environment is critical if we are to face the mounting challenges and thrive. But how can practitioners continue to examine new ways of increasing resilience? And how do we address climate related risks and opportunities?
Join our experts to unpack some of the key factors influencing climate adaptation and resilience and how they are applied in practice.
Key issues to address include:
-
How to embed resilience in the design and master planning phase
-
How to assess risk in different asset classes
-
Climate adaptation of existing assets and working with limitations
-
How to assess and respond to flood and urban heat islands
-
Critical plant and equipment risk assessment
-
How can project teams address resilience and work through challenges
-
How to engage stakeholders in resilience discussions
-
Overview of regenerative design principles and relevance to climate change mitigation
Material selection is just one of the ways we can accelerate the built environment’s contribution to net zero and is a critical factor when imagining the buildings of tomorrow.
This series will put the spotlight on different materials which are shaping the future of design and construction, exploring their use, benefits and limitations and environmental impact across their full life cycle.
As we move towards net zero together, it is imperative for asset owners, architects, quantity surveying professionals, contractors, and manufacturers to focus on ways to reduce embodied carbon whilst maintaining carbon budgets.
