This is a group work, and what you need to do research and write about:

1.Why we care about climate change
(why we put climate change and real estate together)  
(my part is about: water) in the context of real estate ?
2. what are real estate companies’ adaptations to climate change, what are their Business risks & opportunities (maybe can look at SHK’s website and talk about SHK in some aspects, but can talk about the general real estate market in most of the parts), what are the Environmental impacts of their behavior, especially their ways of dealing with water aspect.
