    Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Commercial Real Estate (Opens in a new Window)

    Extensive resources exist to support climate adaptation for municipalities, communities and critical infrastructure. Yet, there remains little comprehensive technical content addressing adaptation specifically for the commercial real estate sector (CRE) in Canada. To support the CRE sector, the objectives of this study are to identify and review guidance, frameworks, protocols, tools, academic publications, industry publications and other essential resources for conducting climate-risk assessments; best practices for climate resilience measures for the CRE sector; existing codes and standards in Canada and abroad that are relevant to climate resilience in CRE; and potential opportunities where standardization could support climate resilience in CRE.
