S&P Global warns 7% annual decline in profits by 2035 due to climate risks, up to $610B lost each year. Yet, 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 1 𝗶𝗻 5 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 have a climate adaptation plan. Many don’t even know where they stand. This is not just a sustainability issue, it’s a business strategy 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁! We’re now in a new operating reality, where: 🌪️ Physical climate hazards can halt production and disrupt global supply chains. 📊 Investors are asking tougher questions about resilience. ⚖️ Regulations are demanding real, forward-looking disclosures. (Examples of regulations include California SB261 and EU CSRD) 💸 And markets are rewarding companies who lead, not just comply. So ask yourself: 👉 Is your adaptation plan tied to financial risk management? 👉 Are you investing in resilience at the same pace you're reporting on risk? 👉 Is climate risk discussed with the same importance as margin, growth, and continuity? The organizations that thrive in the climate era will be the ones that prepare before the headlines hit, not after. If you’re a decision-maker, this is your moment to step forward and lead with purpose.
