Description:
In response to growing interest in understanding how climate risk affects property owners, a Canadian study examines system-wide vulnerabilities and opportunities for resilience investment to reduce risk and increase response capacity to more frequent catastrophic loss events.
Join us for this free one-hour webinar on Thursday, May 21, when climate resilience consultant Chris Chopik is joined by Jenny Whyte, strategic foresight and innovation consultant at Northumberland County, Ontario, to discuss their research examining the current and future projected impacts of climate change on property values.
This study reveals a unique framework for resilience investment for commercial and residential real estate markets and demonstrates an innovative approach to asset-centric investment in resilience, which delivers more tangible value to property owners.
The case study examines climate impacts across all regions of Canada's economic hub, Ontario. The framework presented will offer a simple and understandable value proposition that can be used by governments to get buy-in from property owners. This framework is usable by governments for engaging constituents and property owners/managers in understanding the real estate value of investing in resilience infrastructure, and regional capacity to respond.
In addition to the asset-centric approach, this framework advocates a unique process for community engagement in areas both acutely affected by climate impact, as well as those developing resilience plans. This inclusive design approach aims to strengthen the fabric of resilience investment, as communities facing these challenges are only as strong as their weakest link.
Attendees will receive a copy of the white paper created for Sustainable Buildings Canada and will have the opportunity to ask the researchers questions.
