Early stage researcher and PhD candidate at TU Delft, Alex Fernández, invited to the 83rd session of the UNECE Committee on Urban Development

Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) risks have become one of the most (over) used acronyms of this decade. Hailed as “the” solution to climate change or dismissed as greenwashing, it is increasingly apposite to review its relevance for social housing. On October 14th, Alex Fernández, RE-DWELL early stage researcher and PhD candidate at the Technical University of Delft, was invited to the 83rd session of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Committee on Urban Development to discuss the role of green finance in enabling the development and renovation of social housing. The issues addressed in his intervention are summarized in this blogpost.
