Climate-Related Risk Playbooks for Building Owners

REALPAC is pleased to release the Climate-Related Risk Playbooks for Building Owners, developed in collaboration with REALPAC members, the Canada Green Building Council, and JLL Canada, with support from Natural Resources Canada. Designed to offer practical guidance, the playbooks help asset and investment managers navigate both physical and transition climate risks.

Each playbook is structured around three key areas:

  • Introduction
  • Financials
  • Technology & Operations

REALPAC has released playbooks for the Apartment, Industrial, Office, and Retail sectors. The four playbooks examine regulations, portfolio- and asset-level decision-making, and financial implications. They also provide guidance on carbon transition planning, emissions reduction prioritization, and physical climate risk assessment and planning, including resilience considerations related to extreme weather events.

Together, the playbooks support more informed, data-driven decision-making as the sector advances toward a lower-carbon, more climate-resilient future.
