Real Estate & Climate Risk: market dynamics and valuation tools
Although scientific studies are increasingly alarming about the intensity and frequency of natural risks induced by climate change, few professionals are today able to quantify the impact of such changes on their real estate assets.
My goal is to answer to this problem, through the creation of a valuation model making it possible to quantify the financial impacts of natural risks, while considering future environmental circumstances.
ALDREN Project
Chayma Oueslati has been involved in an ALDREN pilot study in collaboration with several partners of the ALDREN Consortium to assess the impacts of energy renovation strategies on a Hotel located in Benidorm – Spain. This study aimed to measure the financial impacts of several renovation packages in terms of value, cash flow, and return on investment, in order to help the building owners make the best technical and financial decisions.

Change Over Time
Activities related to the extraction and exploitation of natural resources are varied in Tunisia. But the most important numerically and spatially are stone quarries, which, once abandoned, are considered as low-value land and, in most cases, become an environmental nuisance, even though they have the potential to be of great natural, scientific, or cultural interest. The abandoned calcareous sandstone quarries that were opened in the Tyrrhenian barrier beach on the eastern coast of the Cap Bon peninsula (northeast Tunisia) illustrate this.
