With the rising tide of physical climate change impacts comes increasing risk of abrupt losses for real estate investors in sensitive geographical areas.
For many investors, real estate exposures have brought into sharp focus the growing materiality of climate risk and highlighted the need for in-depth physical risk analysis. As regulatory pressures emerge, investors are looking to understand their near- and longer-term risk exposures to embed resilience into decision making and value creation.
In this webinar, the second of our Weathering Physical Climate Risk series, we will explore the latest climate risk and strategy trends, alongside their implications for real estate investing, including:
The materiality of climate risk to real estate investing and the surrounding regulatory landscape
Acute vs. chronic risks and how they impact value
How investors can analyze physical risks on real estate portfolios to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities
Quantification of financial impact to inform resilient investment strategies and long-term value creation
