Climate change and biodiversity loss are now top concerns for global businesses, regulators, and investors. From extreme weather events and supply chain disruptions to evolving disclosure requirements, organizations are increasingly expected to assess both physical and transition risks, along with their dependencies and impacts on nature. Stakeholders are calling for transparent, science-based responses that link environmental issues to financial and operational priorities. Businesses that act now can turn risk into resilience and lead the way toward a nature-positive, low-carbon future.
