The extreme weather events that real estate is ignoring - with Georgia Warren-Meyers and Julian Sutherland, JLL

About this episode

The episode discusses the overlooked climate risks in real estate beyond flood mitigation.

The property industry is rallying around flood mitigation, but what about heat, wind, and cold? In this panel discussion recorded at Transform 2026, JLL's Georgia Warren-Myers and Julian Sutherland join host Jamie Wallis, from the Green Building Council of Australia for a frank conversation about climate resilience at scale. They explore why flood protection has become the go-to strategy, examine real examples of climate risk already affecting asset values and tackle the uncomfortable questions around valuation. This discussion reveals the gaps between climate awareness, action and market recognition and what needs to happen to close them.
