Sustainability and social empowerment at the commercial real estate exhibition MIPIM 2020

The twin themes of people and the planet will come under scrutiny at MIPIM 2020, with a comprehensive focus on social and environmental issues. Organised by Reed MIDEM, a subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions, MIPIM, the World’s Leading Property Market, will be held in Cannes from 10 to 13 March 2020.

The global sustainability challenge has moved centre stage in recent times, thanks to the advocacy of an entire generation fighting against climate change. The topic is also a major issue for the real estate industry, conscious of the costs of consumption and emissions at every stage in the property cycle.
 
ESG responsibilities, which embrace matters of gender and diversity, too, invite the private and public sectors to build future cities that are better for everyone. MIPIM will host that debate, giving voice to key urban leaders.
 
Since its launch in 1990, MIPIM has provided a forum for some of international real estate’s fiercest trends. Following on from last year’s theme of sustainable responsibility, MIPIM 2020 argues that ‘the Future is Human’, promoting solutions for people and the planet through:

• A Political Leaders’ summit featuring around 80 global city mayors
• Half a dozen conferences covering everything from energy to inclusivity
• Urban responses to climate goals from key exhibitors, including the Cities of Stockholm and Copenhagen
• A spotlight on exemplary schemes in the MIPIM Awards competition
