Amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty, the urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was driven home by the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report. We have a narrowing window of opportunity to meet the goal of the Paris Agreement, to limit global temperature rises to 1. 5 degrees. Without immediate action to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the climate crisis will have devastating ecological and social consequences. With 40% of global carbon emissions emanating from the built environment, the real estate sector has a collective responsibility to set and achieve transformational sustainability targets. JLL is playing a leading part in addressing this challenge — from setting aggressive sustainability targets for our own operations, through providing industry-leading sustainability services, products and advice for our corporate and investor clients, to partnering with civil society and industry bodies. It is therefore significant that we are ahead of schedule to meet our World Green Building Council (WGBC) commitment for all JLL operational carbon emissions to be net zero by 2030. We are also making substantial progress toward our other 2030 target for all JLL offices greater than 10,000 s. f. to achieve a sustainability certification.
