We’re excited to share our latest white paper Building Equity: Housing as a Key to a Low-Carbon Society, created in collaboration with The Shift and with support from the Laudes Foundation. This in-depth report examines how housing can serve as a lever for both environmental and social equity, focusing on the crucial intersection of affordable housing and decarbonization.
Key insights from the report include:
– Housing as a Human Right: Recognizing housing as a fundamental right enables more sustainable, inclusive urban development
-Unlocking Social Value in Housing: Addressing both decarbonization and affordability can lead to lower energy costs and long-term stability for residents.
-Cross-Sector Collaboration: Partnerships between public and private sectors and community engagement are essential for scalable solutions.
-Innovative Investment Models: Structured investment in housing as infrastructure fosters community ownership and economic stability.
Additionally, this white paper aligns with The Shift’s Investor Guidelines, which outline actionable steps for institutional investors to integrate human rights and social value into housing investments. By following these guidelines, investors can mitigate risks, strengthen communities, and contribute to a sustainable, responsible housing sector.
