As global capital increasingly prices climate risk, resilience, and long‑term value, green buildings are becoming central to national competitiveness. This keynote panel brings together leaders from Canada’s pension funds, capital markets, and asset ownership to examine how high‑performance, low‑carbon buildings influence global investment decisions. Panelists will explore how institutional investors assess building performance as a driver of risk and return, how capital markets scale investment through sustainable finance, and why credible certifications provide the transparency investors require. Together, they will discuss how aligning capital, markets, and standards can attract global investment and position green buildings as core economic infrastructure in Canada’s competitiveness strategy.
