Do you know how climate change is about to bite you in the…profit margin?
Well, you’re not alone.
When faced with the enormity of climate change and how it is impacting every investment portfolio, almost none of us know where to even begin looking. But all of us are seeing costs rising. Insurance premiums are going up fast – and in some places you can’t even buy insurance anymore. Utility costs are rising and will continue to do so. Large weather events are hitting our buildings and causing more damage more often.
Are you prepared for the precise changes that are creeping into your geographic area?
Most likely not.
I speak to EVERYONE who doesn’t ask “Why do bad things happen to good people?” but who, rather, asks “What can good people do when bad things happen?”
Does your event need a challenging, forward-thinking keynote speaker, panelist or session leader?
Climate change is here and it is currently throwing industry and business out of kilter on a global scale. Real estate is a worldwide industry and climate change is looming over the profitability of our assets. No aspect of the real estate industry is free from the consequences of climate change.
But where do you even begin to learn how to assess and plan for the ramifications of this massive paradigm shift?
