Climate adaptive buildings: a public-private conversation on physical climate risk

Physical climate risk is a serious issue for both public and private stakeholders in real estate. How to assess this issue at building level? What metrics, what language to use? DGBC initiated a hands-on pilot where real estate investors were invited to plot their assets on a shared map that projects the risk for heat stress, drought, extreme precipitation and sea level rise. Do we discover shared urgencies for public and private stakeholders in studying the maps? How to differentiate gross physical risk and net physical risk at building level? Real estate investors and The Hague Deputy Mayor Liesbeth van Tongeren discuss the opportunities of shared data, a common language and strategy towards coordinated climate action at building level ánd city level, to mitigate potential physical climate risks.
