“Climate Risk and Commercial Property Values: A review and analysis of the literature” is a recent report from the United Nations that was written in partnership with York University’s Schulich School of Business and Britain’s Henley Business School. The piece discusses the physical climate risks that real estate investors should consider. Given recent extreme weather events, it aims to identify patterns in the reduced price of assets and behaviour change in the real estate market resulting from acute and chronic climate risk. It is worth noting that the researchers found little information that is available to investors and other market participants that clearly outlines the interaction between climate hazard exposure, market sentiment, and asset value and pricing.
