Climate change is redrawing the risk landscape. Not only must businesses and governments build resilience to mounting climate impacts on assets, markets, supply chains and communities, they must also navigate disruptive climate policies and regulations. These challenges also create opportunities. New markets and business models are emerging for corporations able to respond to the changing landscape, whilst governments can achieve win-wins by aligning climate action with wider policy objectives such as health and resource efficiency.
