I’ve been reading the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2026 over the last few weeks, and one thing stood out to me when looking at the long-term risk outlook. Extreme weather is ranked as the most severe global risk over a ten-year horizon. Not as a prediction of what will happen next year, and not as a statement that other risks matter less, but as a reflection of how global decision-makers assess risk when they look further ahead. What I find interesting is how clearly physical climate risk is now discussed in economic terms. Floods, heat, storms and droughts are no longer only described as environmental challenges, but as factors that can affect asset values, insurance availability and long-term financial decisions. We wrote an article that takes a closer look at what this ranking actually reflects, and what it may mean for banks, real estate owners and insurers who work with long-lived assets and long time horizons. Sharing it here in case it’s useful or interesting. 👇🏼👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/dff8ztBi

This weekend Southern Norway got hit by a extreme weather event again ⛈️ 🌪️ With Benjamin out of the way, it was now DAVE’s turn to mess around, or as DJ Khaled would put it: Another one! …and btw, did you know that 2023, 2024 and 2025 are all on the top 10 list of years with the most expensive weather and nature events that have happened over time according to Finans Norge in their newly published climate report for 2025.

Due diligence is designed to surface risks before capital is committed. Climate risk exposure is still often assessed less systematically. Here is a simple checklist for integrating climate risk into real estate due diligence👇 https://lnkd.in/eN8p7mGm

Sustainability isn’t becoming “more important” in real estate. It’s becoming more real. We have looked at how OBOS is turning sustainability into business logic: real trade-offs, real financial discipline, real consequences. This week, I want to highlight another perspective I think more people should pay attention to: Reitan Eiendom has been working with sustainability long before reporting and regulation was even a topic. Not as a side project - but as part of how they actually build things. And one line from Jostein Breines stuck with me: “Reporting is just the storytelling of the work.” That’s the mindset I wish more of the industry had. Because when values and financial logic pull in the same direction, sustainability becomes… well, normal. A natural part of how you make decisions, design projects, and manage risk. A few things that impressed me: - Their daughter company E C Dahls Eiendom delivered Nordre gate 12 with massive reuse and smarter engineering - They built a digital data platform for CSRD without adding a huge reporting team - The Urban Trigger Method forces every project to map, visualise, innovate, and execute with local impact And the whole philosophy is incredibly simple: do things properly!

Less complexity. Better overview. Stronger decisions. Telescope helps organizations understand, manage, and act on climate risk in practice, not theory.

Most banks have no clear picture of where climate risk sits in their loan book. Telescope changes that - from individual properties to full portfolio visibility.
