Property Climate Risk Varied in Asia-Pacific

Applying climate analysis to MSCI’s Real Capital Analytics database of global property holdings, we can see a broad range of aggregated physical climate risks across real estate in selected Asia-Pacific cities. As we previously showed for cities worldwide, these risks were not equally distributed within each city.

Once again, location and topography were decisive factors behind the impact of physical climate change, reinforcing the idea that investors may wish to consider climate risk at the individual asset level, rather than relying solely on market-level data.

The charts below illustrate Average physical risk vs. risk distribution across major Asia-Pacific metros
