- Increased carbon taxes leading to higher operational expenses
- Changes in regulations and updates to standards for energy and resource efficiency affecting existing and new properties
- Introduction of lower carbon and more energy-efficient equipment requiring refurbishment or purchase of new equipment
- Extreme weather and damage of assets leading to higher insurance costs
- Climate change (rising temperatures, prolonged rainfall) increasing operational costs
