Impact of climate change to real estate fund management business

ANREV is pleased to invite you to join a webinar session on 9 May 2017 (Tuesday).

With the Paris Agreement ratified and the forthcoming release of the Financial Stability Board's Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosure, there has seemingly never been more global momentum responding to the challenge of climate change. Furthermore, reporting from the UNPRI and the UN Environment Programme's Finance Initiative highlights both the physical and transition risks posed by Climate change. As Asset managers, how can we ensure our assets are best prepared for rising temperatures, increased extreme weather event frequencies and electricity shortages, as the world shifts to a low-carbon economy with the associated impacts on markets and global capital flows as mangers seek to reduce the carbon risk of their portfolios.

Join us for a short webinar discussing the implication of these global trends on Real Estate investment and the property sector on May 9th.
