In this inaugural episode of The Future We Build, Alex sits down with Vincent Van Bijleveld from GREEN (Global Real Estate Engagement Network) to explore how institutional capital is—or isn't—driving decarbonization in real estate. Vincent offers a rare investor perspective on the tensions between financial returns and climate goals, the limitations of current rating systems, and why real estate might be easier to transform than we think.
