Title: Impacts of Climate Change on Asset Management

Description: From the recent floods in British Columbia to the rampant tornado warnings throughout Ontario, it is becoming more apparent how climate change is impacting our environment in devastating ways. Vertical and horizontal infrastructure needs to be climate-proof, which means more stringent design standards throughout the country. More importantly, clients need to assess how climate change affects their projects and what costs they are incurring as a result. During this session, Colliers Project Leaders’ panel of experts will discuss the impacts of worsening weather on your assets and how your municipality can offset the effects of climate change on your project.
