But for the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, it must be more than a symbolic day. It is a call to action that demands reflection, leadership, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions, with commercial spaces contributing a significant share. This positions the sector not only as a major contributor to the climate crisis but also as a critical driver of solutions. Earth Day challenges real estate leaders to align development and investment strategies with sustainability, resilience, and long-term value.
