Climate Change: An Imminent Threat

The science of climate change is teaching us that properties across North America — and the world — are experiencing an unprecedented increase in the frequency of climate events and related losses. According to Larry Fink of BlackRock,”Climate change is driving a profound reassessment of risk and asset values.”

ERIS is proud to partner with ClimateCheck® to help the Canadian environmental due diligence industry assess the increasing risks to property due to the changing climate. ERIS now offers reports to enable every real estate stakeholder to instantly understand their risks.

Comprehensive Climate Risk Analysis

ERIS can provide in-depth property-specific reports outlining the physical risks over time to all the hazards. Includes search of property and surrounding properties (depending on search criteria entered).

Account for Escalating Operational Expenditures

Drought — Increasing water expense
Temperature — Increasing utility expenses
Precipitation (aka Storm)— Increasing repair and maintenance
Flood — Increasing cost of insurance
Fire — Increasing cost of insurance

Factor in Decreasing Values
Future buyers will factor in growing climate risk. Protect yourself from ballooning climate change cap rates at refinancing and disposition milestones.

Anticipate Total Loss Scenarios
Understand risk to total loss events from fire and flood.
