Water, Waste, and the Financial Risks of Climate Inaction

Flooding, droughts, and overwhelmed urban infrastructures are placing water and waste systems under immense pressure—often with overlooked financial consequences. In this session, panelists will analyze how climate-driven water events affect asset values, risk exposure, and insurability. We’ll also explore decentralized solutions and resilient urban design strategies that reduce systemic vulnerabilities and support long-term real estate value retention.
