Physical Climate Risks

Sea Level Rise & Coastal Erosion

Rising seas and stronger storm surges threaten coastal real estate through flooding, erosion, and permanent loss of land value.

Extreme Weather

Hurricanes, floods, droughts, and wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity, raising repair costs and reducing insurability.

Heat & Precipitation Shifts

Heatwaves and violent rainfall stress buildings, infrastructure, and energy systems while degrading long-term livability.
