IASP Sustainability

The 2021 United Nation Climate Change Conference saw all 197 countries reaffirm their pledge to the Paris Agreement of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C. IASP Sustainability was founded to  help coordinate these efforts and allow IASP members to learn from each other’s best practices. For STPs and AOIs there will be fundamental changes to real estate and working practices, with managers having to work ever more closely with resident companies as all stakeholders in the innovation value chain adopt clean energy targets. In addition to limiting climate change, we will also be required to play our part in wider environmental sustainability efforts, covering various areas including water, food, soil, waste and overall biodiversity.
