Palm Jumeirah Stranded Asset Index

Asset-Level Climate Stress Test of an AED 46.26 Billion Real Estate Portfolio

AED 46.26B Total Assets Audited
AED 4.11B Critical Tier Exposure
6,040 Individual Evaluations
168% Risk Acceleration

Executive Overview

This audit quantifies climate-related physical risk across Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah using high-resolution geospatial modeling and IPCC AR6 SSP5-8.5 scenarios.

While the island core remains resilient through 2045, our model identifies a structural 'Tipping Point' post-2050. As sea levels reach the 0.23m threshold, cumulative Value-at-Risk (VaR) surges, threatening the long-term insurability of peripheral frond assets.

2. Temporal Loss Projection

Financial Timeline

Mortgage collateral risk remains low for 25 years but accelerates exponentially as loans enter their final decade (2050+).

3. Multi-Scenario Analysis

Scenarios

Progression from 2050 Baseline (0.23m) to Extreme Storm Surge (1.50m) showing breaching of engineered buffers.

4. Topographic Stress Testing

Elevation Profile

Key Finding: Peripheral fronds show a 60% reduction in ground-floor elevation compared to the resilient Trunk core.
