In India, cities like Mumbai face unique challenges due to rising sea levels, heatwaves, and increased flooding. Developers are now compelled to adopt resilient building practices, such as elevated foundations, advanced drainage systems, and energy-efficient designs.
Buyers are also becoming more climate-conscious, prioritizing homes with sustainable features like solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and natural ventilation. Properties adhering to green certification standards such as IGBC and LEED are witnessing stronger demand.
For investors, climate-friendly properties are more likely to retain value over time. Stricter regulations may also result in penalties for non-compliant developments, making sustainable housing not just an ethical choice but a financial safeguard.
Looking ahead, climate risk assessments may become as crucial as location analysis when buying property. Properties in low-risk zones with sustainable infrastructure will carry a premium.
