Climate Change and California Housing: Land, Water, and Risk

Climate Change and California Housing: Land, Water, and Risk

About the Event

California’s housing market is increasingly shaped by climate-driven constraints that influence where housing can be built and how communities plan for the future. From pending defensible space requirements under consideration by state regulators to growing water limitations and accelerating coastal vulnerabilities, climate change is becoming a defining factor in housing development decisions and long-term market stability across the state.

Join the Center for California Real Estate (CCRE) on Thursday, March 19, from 10 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. for a virtual discussion exploring how climate-related pressures — including wildfire risk, water scarcity, and coastal erosion — are reshaping California’s housing landscape. This CCRE conversation will examine what housing professionals should understand as climate considerations become increasingly embedded in California’s housing framework.
