On October 18, 2023, the NIBS Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council’s Committee on Finance, Insurance and Real Estate (CFIRE) will host a webinar to discuss the recently released Resilience Incentivization Roadmap 2.0 with Fannie Mae.
The roadmap on mitigation investment was developed to help people Americans prepare for and respond to natural disasters. It explores the investment opportunities by lenders, insurers, developers, owners, and government.
“Climate resilience will be key to sustainable homeownership as the impacts of climate change increase,” said Tim Judge, Head of Modeling & Chief Climate Officer with Fannie Mae, in a release. “The Roadmap provides tangible recommendations that the collective stakeholders can take to promote resilient investment that U.S. housing certainly needs.” Register now.
On October 24, 2023, the next installment of the Existing Buildings 2023 series takes place with Retrofitting for Resilience.
The webinar will discuss the need for resilient buildings to become the status quo, as climate and hazard risks intensify. Our experts will discuss how finance, design, and policy all converge to create a more resilient existing building stock.
