C Change
C Change is a ULI-led programme to mobilise the European real estate industry to decarbonise. We’re a movement empowering everyone to work together for a sustainable future. We connect the brightest minds from across the value chain. We challenge barriers, share expertise, and champion innovation to move swiftly to accelerate solutions that will transform our industry and protect our planet. C Change means real change.
Watch: How is C Change different to work already underway across real estate?
C Change was formed in late 2021 by a group of leading real estate players that was united in its aim to focus on collaboration to ensure companies large and small have access to practical solutions and education on decarbonisation.

Get involved with C Change
C Change is about harnessing the collective expertise in our industry. We’re asking our members to support us on two important intervention points that require industry attention to be game-changing.
- A common industry methodology to assess transitional climate risks as part of property valuations to avoid stagnation of our investment markets and stranded assets.
- Practical ways to improve alignment between tenants and landlords to create common goals for decarbonising and retrofitting.
If you have expertise in these areas, please sign up to be part of our movement and participate in consultations, interviews, and other ways to feedback and contribute.
C Change coordinates with the ULI Randall Lewis Center for Sustainability in Real Estate.
C Change Intervention Briefing Papers
Find out more about the thirteen invention points that C Change has identified where people working in the real estate industry can actively apply pressure to create industry-wide change.
Intervention points are specific places within a system where we can target action, interrupting business as usual in order to drive transformation. For the built environment industry, this includes topics such as carbon pricing, building renovation passports, whole life carbon data and financial solutions to prevent asset stranding.
ULI C Change Transition Risk Assessment Guidelines
ULI C Change has launched its Transition Risk Assessment Guidelines, which help owners and managers remove a critical barrier in the transition to a low-carbon built environment.
The objective of these guidelines is to standardise the treatment and disclosure of transition risks up and down the value chain of real estate investment. They identify 12 transition risks which are of material impact to real estate assets now and in the future.
Video: How will the Transition Risk Assessment Guidelines help to decarbonise the industry?
The guidelines, which can be downloaded below, are now ready to be used by industry participants and we would welcome feedback on their adoption. We intend to produce case studies to demonstrate the guidelines in-use and would also be pleased to hear about companies that wish to partner on research.
Please also read our accompanying discussion paper, Breaking the value deadlock: enabling action on decarbonisation, which details the reasons that understanding and assessing transition risks is an important part of the green transition.
