Net Zero Imperative (NZI)
In order to move towards ULI’s global net zero mission priority, the ULI Net Zero Imperative (NZI) was launched as a multi-year initiative encouraging reduced carbon emissions in the built environment. Each year, selected cities across the world receive funding for technical assistance panels which consider localized techniques for decarbonization, focusing on the impact building and cities have on the climate crisis.
In 2022, ULI SF was chosen as part of the first NZI cohort to partner with the City of San José. The technical assistance panel focused on increasing the viability of building electrification through public, private partnerships.
