Climate change and risk to real estate

This will place a substantial burden on economies, having a detrimental impact on real estate (property) across short and long timeframes. Despite well documented scientific knowledge about climate change impacts, there has been limited research in the real estate sector – notwithstanding its major role in the provision of shelter, and the economies of many countries. In this chapter we explore how climate change will affect real estate, and the implications of this. We identify five key challenges that climate change poses for the sector, and from these we identify a critical research agenda
