The ULI Net Zero Imperative (NZI) is a multi-year initiative to accelerate decarbonization in the built environment and is a significant aspect of ULI’s work to advance its net zero mission priority. The program sponsors technical assistance panels in a select number of global cities per year and is designed to help building owners, cities, and other relevant constituents reduce carbon emissions associated with buildings, communities, and cities. 

Thanks to the generosity of Owen Thomas and additional gifts from Lynn Thurber, Joe Azrack, Franz Colloredo-Mansfeld, and Dan Cashdan, who made it possible to further support and bolster the NZI program’s scale and impact in global cities to help accelerate efforts toward net zero. Take action today and donate to ULI’s Net Zero Imperative: uli.org/donate/nzi.

The statement of interest for the technical assistance grants can be accessed here and the statement of interest for implementation grants can be accessed here. We accept applications from ULI’s global network of District and National Councils (Europe and Asia Pacific) in partnership with local governments, real estate leaders, and community stakeholder groups.
