WLI and EG invite you to join us for an evening of robust discussion on "The Changing Climate for the Property Industry." This event will explore how the impacts of climate change must be factored into financial decision-making before we cross the carbon tipping point.
Our expert panel will review and challenge how the property industry has responded to the Paris Agreement since 2015 with a focus on three main themes: - Climate regulatory framework Asia Pacific
- Investor expectation on managing climate risks
- Asset manager responses through sustainability strategies

Translated for a non-finance audience, this event is a must for investors, developers, asset managers, designers and precinct planners seeking to understand this critical influence on future business.

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2019 Young Leaders Summit. To start off the day, Bec McHenry inspired us to be brave and make the most of our coming years. Stephen Choi brought up the fact that we use the term sustainability a lot, but is that what we really want? Do we want to sustain what we've been doing that has brought us down this path? What we really need is to do better.
Tony Crabb shared with us that efficiency in technology has a cost, and it's our privacy.
Romina Edwards spoke on building the tallest timber building in Australia, Melbourne Central, and lessons learnt along the way.
On our visit to @burwoodbrickworks , Jack Davis gave an overview of what it's like building the most sustainable retail center in Australia, and how they aim to complete the Living Building Challenge.
On our trip to Yarrabend we had a special visit from the owner and visionary, Len Warson, who taught us that sometimes we can do too much due diligence and how a vision to become the world’s most liveable suburb is creating everyday efficiencies in technology, neighbourhood interaction and sense of community.
To finish out the day, Jo Cannington gave us a very interactive workshop on empathy in community engagement.
Many thanks to our sponsors, Spiire, Ethos Urban, Brookfield, and Cushman and Wakefield.
