“Two years after the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law, thousands of government contracts have been awarded. And while we cannot conclude that competitive contracts are awarded along partisan lines, it’s interesting to note that Republican-leaning states have seen the lion’s share of environmental funding to date. This is true when we analyze funding for clean energy and power, electric vehicles, and environmental remediation. The irony is that Republican-leaning states have traditionally been the most vocal critics of green energy and climate change initiatives.” —Sam Bourgi, senior analyst at Creditnews.

Proud of the team for launching CapitaLand Investment’s (#CLI) first standalone Climate Resilience Report aligned with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (#TCFD). The report includes CLI’s third #climate scenario analysis that covers its diversified portfolio of more than 480 properties in 20 countries across different asset classes and capital pools.   It outlines the physical and transition risks under different climate scenarios, the extent of #financial impact of these on our portfolio and how should we prioritise channeling #green capital expenditure to enhance portfolio resilience. #Decarbonization in real estate is very much like a portfolio management exercise – so beyond just disclosures, this analysis will help us take on-ground decisions by combining science and finance.

🇺🇸 Something not talked about enough: Climate investing for the real estate industry isn't so much about federal politics. Local matters much more. We're frequently asked at Fifth Wall about the amount of political risk associated with a climate tech investment strategy. And I'm foreseeing this question asked even more in an election year... It's absolutely true we don't know what 2024 holds. That's a genuine concern for any climate investor. Anyone who says otherwise is either being dishonest or isn't being clear-eyed. My POV: Despite the extreme polarity of climate regulation at the federal level between the two major U.S. political parties, regulatory tailwinds and headwinds for climate tech for the real estate industry are created at the local level. There's much less binary risk at the local level. Spoiler alert—cities are overwhelmingly progressive, where most real estate value is concentrated. And if you don't like that regulation, unlike other industries, you can't just up and move your building to somewhere else with more favorable regulations. There are something like 120 cities with building climate regulations on the legislative docket... Look at Local Law 97 in New York, the real estate capital of the world! #realestate #locallaw97 #climateinvesting

In the aftermath of the Securities and Exchange Commission's modified climate disclosure rule, commercial real estate entities find themselves at a crossroads. While the exclusion of Scope 3 emissions reporting and relaxed materiality clauses offer a semblance of relief, compliance remains a multifaceted challenge. California's stringent regulations and Europe's comprehensive approach set a high bar, complicating multinational operations. The looming legal battles and escalating costs underscore the urgency for technological solutions in emissions tracking and risk assessment. Amidst this complexity, integrating climate resilience into portfolios emerges as both a regulatory necessity and an investor-driven imperative. The journey ahead demands strategic foresight and proactive adaptation within the real estate sector. - - - - - #commercialrealestate #commercialproperty #CommercialLand #commerciallandforsale #warehousespace #officespace #flexspace #industrialspace #sandiegocommercialrealestate #sandiegorealestate #realestate #cre #realtor #realestateagent #realestateinvesting #property #commercial #commercialproperty #realestateinvestor #business #investment #propertymanagement #investmentproperty #residentialrealestate #forsale #retail #entrepreneur #construction #officespace #realestatebrokerage #housingshortage #housing #housingelements #housingmarket #housingcrisis #orangecountyrealestate #orangecounty #orangecountyhomes #latimes #lahousing #losangeleshousing #housingresearch #losangeleshomes #homeaffordability #sandiegohomes #homebuyers #realtorsofinstagram https://lnkd.in/eB2jxwG2
