The Business Leaders Guide to Climate Adaptation & Resilience

The Business Leaders Guide to Climate Adaptation & Resilience supports senior decision-makers and their functional teams to integrate climate adaptation and resilience into organizational strategy, governance, and operations. Developed by WBCSD, Bain & Company, and Jupiter Intelligence, with the support of leading global businesses, the guide contains nine modules, each of which includes tools, frameworks, and case studies to facilitate action across various adaptation challenges.

Throughout the guide, three key themes emerge: 

• Act Now: The time to act is now to avoid risk, safeguard communities, and unlock new adaptation-related business opportunities. 
• Coordinated Business Strategy: Effective climate adaptation demands a coordinated transformation across all business functions, shifting from a reactive to a proactive risk management approach. 
• Local Collaboration: Collaboration with diverse stakeholders at local and national levels is essential to building collective resilience within and beyond the value chain.
