Impact of Climate Change on Mortgage Approvals

Climate change is affecting U.S. mortgage approvals, with hotter than normal weather leading to a decrease in approvals and their values. Lenders are increasingly worried about the impact of climate change on the assets they lend against, causing restrictions in coastal property mortgages due to risks from calamities like storms and sea level rise.
