Living Future Europe  - Building Resilience: Creating Great Places Through Regenerative Approaches 

16:00 - 20:00 

In a world of challenging investment dynamics and heightened uncertainty, investors need strategies that build lasting, resilient value. Cities need to boost growth and meet housing needs through regenerating neighbourhoods and building thriving communities, all whilst decarbonising and adapting to climate change. And the AEC industry must overcome a skills and courage gap to meet the challenge of climate change with radically new materials and methods that are unfamiliar to many practitioners. 

At its heart, committing to regenerative action is about changing processes and tools, metrics for success, and even the mindset that we work in. It is about more than ‘sustainability’. It is about going beyond to truly restore places – and build back better. 

But this is not mere fantasy. This event will explore how regenerative principles are being deployed by industry leaders today – at both the building and neighbourhood level – to create healthy, thriving, and innovative places with long-term resilience.

Carbon Tracker - Stranded Strategies? Making Sense of Oil & Gas in the Energy Transition 

08:30 - 09:30 

As the global carbon budget shrinks and the energy transition accelerates, oil and gas companies are still sanctioning high-cost, long-duration projects – often while rolling back elements of their transition plans. At the same time, investment in new oil and gas is falling as a share of free cash flow, revealing a sector in strategic tension. Is oil on the way out, or are companies doubling down? How should investors navigate these conflicting signals? This session will unpack the climate alignment and transition risks of major oil and gas producers, drawing on insights from our Paris Maligned report and company profile research. 

This event is designed specifically for professionals working within financial institutions. The content and discussions will be tailored to this audience. If you are not affiliated with a financial institution, this event may not be the most relevant or beneficial for you.
