Summit Outcomes
On March 2, 2007, the Vancouver Valuation Summit received presentations from representatives of governments, agencies, individuals, professions and companies from many backgrounds and countries.
The Vancouver Valuation Summit broke new ground in a number of key areas including:
- Highlighting the importance of sustainability to economic prosperity and social cohesion;
- Describing the nature of linkages between valuation and sustainability;
- Profiling how sustainability factors can add value to property,
- Emphasizing the importance of the rigor of valuation and the professional capacity of Valuers; and
- Identifying opportunities for Valuation and sustainability practitioners to work together to advance understanding and knowledge.
The Summit's focus was the link between sustainability and valuation, and a major outcome of the Summit was the signing of the Vancouver Valuation Accord (VVA). Led by Premier Gordon Campbell of British Columbia, the Accord represents a formal expression and commitment by signatories to advance understanding, knowledge, educational capacity and practices about Valuation and sustainability.
On Saturday, March 3rd, immediately following the Summit, a Private Forum for representatives of major valuation organizations, expert valuers and leading sustainability practitioners was convened to identify the challenges and opportunities inherent in implementing the Vancouver Valuation Accord. The result of this meeting was the creation of a Go-Forward Work Plan for Valuation and Sustainability.
