According to a new report co-authored by The Climate Service, real estate investments are especially prone to climate risk, as the impact of climate-related damage from rising seas and storms along coastlines is projected to cost cities as much as $1 trillion each year by the year 2050.

One of the findings: protecting green spaces throughout urban municipalities can significantly reduce the risk of extreme heat.
