Report Summary:

Across the globe, disasters are increasing in frequency, intensity, and cost. In 2023, there were 37 disasters across the Americas; Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; and Asia Pacific that brought a price tag of more than $1 billion in damages. This rising cost is spurring actors across the real estate sector to take action.

The Resilience Summit, ULI’s flagship climate adaptation event, brings together industry leaders including property owners, developers, architects, government officials, and urban planners from across the real estate and resilience sectors to tackle the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities presented by climate-related risks.

The 2024 Resilience Summit occurred concurrently with ULI’s 2024 Spring Meeting in New York City and drew a record-breaking turnout. This year’s event was hosted by NYU Urban Lab and featured an exhibit curated by NYU students showcasing New York–based resilience case studies, modeled on ULI’s signature project profiles that demonstrate how resilience creates value.

The 2024 Summit explored a wide range of topics related to climate adaptation, urban resilience, and sustainable development, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among industry leaders and stakeholders.

The event had a specific thematic focus on the following key areas:

  1. Climate risk and real estate
  2. Financing decarbonization and resilience
  3. Solutions for reducing climate impacts on assets and cities
