Climate, Land Use, and Energy (CLUE) Advisory Group Findings Report
CLUE report cover

At the 2007 ULI Fall Meeting in Las Vegas, the Trustees directed Chairman Todd Mansfield to form an Advisory Group to study and advise on the issues of climate change and energy and how ULI as an organization might best engage in these issues. The Chairman appointed us to cochair the Advisory Group on Climate, Land Use and Energy (CLUE) which was formalized in December 2007.

The Advisory Group is made up of a diverse body of ULI members who span the fields of finance, investment, development, design and the insurance industries. We have met on a monthly basis since December 2007 and have enjoyed the highest levels of commitment from participants. The Advisory Group has explored how the issues of rising energy costs and global climate change should inform ULI's ongoing activities, including how these issues might impact the industry at-large and how they are changing the day-to-day practice of land use and urban development.
