Climate Risk Matters in SC

South Carolina’s unique geography exposes it to a range of climate risks. Rising temperatures, heavier rainfall, and wildfire threats are projected to increase over the next 30 years, affecting both coastal and inland properties1. Flooding remains a top concern, especially in low-lying areas and near waterways, while heat stress can strain building systems and increase energy costs.

Recent studies show that climate risks are already influencing commercial real estate markets. Properties in high-risk areas often face reduced cash flow, lower occupancy rates, higher operating and capital costs, and increased insurance premiums2. Investors are beginning to price these risks into asset valuations, affecting financing availability and deal structures.
