Understand risk. Build resilience. Create lasting value.
Climate, nature and resilience
How can climate and nature risk become a source of resilience?
Climate change and nature loss are reshaping the conditions in which organisations operate. Physical hazards can disrupt assets, operations and supply chains. Transition pressures can affect markets, products and business models. Organisations also depend on ecosystem services such as water, healthy soil and natural protection, while their activities can affect the systems on which they rely.
Climate and nature risks become a source of resilience when organisations understand their exposure early and use that insight to make better decisions. We help clients identify material climate and nature-related risks, assess their operational and financial implications, and translate findings into investment, governance and risk management actions. This enables organisations to prioritise adaptation measures, strengthen resilience and position themselves to create value in a changing environment.
How we can help
- Where could climate and nature-related risks reshape your risk profile?
- Which actions will build resilience, and how will you know they are working?
Where could climate and nature-related risks reshape your risk profile?
We identify where physical and transition climate risks, nature dependencies and business impacts could affect assets, operations, supply chains, portfolios and business models. Our work can move from portfolio screening to site-level assessment: consolidating asset data, locating exposures, screening relevant acute and chronic hazards, applying appropriate climate scenarios and assessing materiality over the expected lifespan of each activity or asset.
We document data sources, assumptions and conclusions to create a traceable evidence base. Material findings are translated into operational and financial implications and linked to risk appetite, risk governance, enterprise risk management, investment planning and regulatory assessments.
Which actions will build resilience, and how will you know they are working?
We translate material risk findings into practical adaptation and resilience measures. Actions are prioritised according to risk reduction, materiality, feasibility and the decisions they need to support. Depending on the context, this can include physical measures, operating changes, maintenance priorities, risk transfer, underwriting or lending criteria, and further investigation where evidence remains limited.
We then define ownership, indicators and monitoring approaches that show whether vulnerability, disruption, loss potential or recovery capacity is changing. The result is an action plan and evidence framework that can be embedded into governance, risk reviews, investment decisions and resilience disclosures.
Offerings
Scope and screen
Define activities, assets, locations, portfolios, time horizons and applicable criteria. Identify relevant physical, transition and nature-related risk drivers using asset and portfolio data.
Assess
Evaluate exposure, sensitivity, vulnerability, dependencies, impacts and materiality.
Quantify
Use scenarios, stress tests and data-led analysis where relevant to estimate business and financial implications.
Respond
Prioritise adaptation, controls and other risk-treatment actions.
Evidence
Document sources, assumptions, decisions, indicators and reassessment requirements.
Climate and nature risks become a source of resilience when organisations understand what matters, act with purpose and use evidence to shape better decisions over time.
