Greenlighting Investment into Green Real Estate

Home

From a global perspective, green financing is progressively being utilized as a catalyst in the transition towards a greener economy because it provides the necessary financial support for the development of green projects, including green real estate.

To preserve energy and natural resources, people, governments and corporations around the world are now cooperating more closely together to generate more sentience, establish 'green' associated bodies and associations, ratify laws and provide green financing. Given the built environment's massive involvement in the diminution of natural resources and hastening of climate change, many more property owners and users, today, are also convivial to the idea of going 'green', and many have incorporated green technology on and in their buildings to garner energy and natural resources and/or conserve energy and resources.

AmCham Real Estate & Construction Committee is pleased to hold an event on Jan 10 from 10am-11:45pm, to explain more about the concept of green financing, how this type of financing has grown in terms of volume and how it can be applied to real estate and construction.
