Building Corporate Climate Resilience

Physical climate impacts are fundamentally reshaping the risk landscape for global businesses. Through six dialogues conducted in 2025, the Climate Resilience Foresight Series brought together leaders from two dozen companies to explore how organizations can build comprehensive resilience to climate change. This synthesis presents a strategic framework for corporate climate resilience, drawing on insights from participants across manufacturing, energy, technology, financial services, and other critical sectors. The dialogues revealed that while awareness of climate risks has grown substantially, translating this awareness into sustained action remains challenging. Companies face genuine barriers including competing priorities, data limitations, and governance structures not designed for long-term, systemic threats. Yet leading organizations are developing innovative approaches that frame resilience as a source of competitive advantage rather than merely a cost center. As climate impacts accelerate, the companies that systematically build adaptive capacity will be best positioned to protect value, seize opportunities, and contribute to broader societal resilience.
Powering Possibility

This factsheet explores clean hydrogen, a critical commodity in major industrial and chemical processes, from petroleum refining to fertilizer production.
Fueling the Future

This factsheet explores sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a non-petroleum jet fuel certified for use in commercial and military aircraft.
More Than Carbon

This factsheet explores engineered carbon removal (ECR), a form of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) that uses human-made technologies to capture carbon dioxide from ambient air or oceans.
Reliability in Reserve

This factsheet explores long-duration energy storage (LDES), a storage technology that can supply energy—typically as electricity, and in some cases as heat—continuously for at least ten consecutive hours at full power.
Considerations for the Progress Assessment of NAPs at COP30

Parties are expected to decide on the progress assessment for the formulation and implementation of national adaptation plans (NAPs) at UN Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) 30th Conference of Parties (COP30). The NAP process helps developing countries identify and address long-term climate adaptation needs. Progress on the formulation and implementation of NAPs has been […]
Accelerating the Substantial Reduction of Methane Emissions by 2030

The substantial reduction of methane emissions globally by 2030 could have a major impact on global temperatures, equivalent to removing the emissions of all cars and trucks in the world. Achieving this GST1 outcome will be critical to meeting the Paris Agreement’s temperature target. Scaling finance for methane emissions reduction will play an essential role […]
Why COP30 Matters & How It Can Succeed

Coming one year after the guidance to fully operationalize the Paris Agreement was adopted and at the end of the first turn of the Paris ambition cycle, the 30th Conference of Parties (COP30) faces the challenge of navigating the transition to a greater focus on cooperation for implementation. The geopolitical context makes that task more […]
Considerations & Recommendations for the UAE Just Transition Work Programme

At COP30, the United Arab Emirates Just Transition Work Programme (JTWP) could lay out the elements of future work, including a framework for enhanced international cooperation and ambitious climate action for just transition. This paper explores the state of play of discussions and provides considerations and recommends possible outcomes for the JTWP. Through a well-designed […]
