What’s New: Embedding Nature in Your Net Zero Plan
The cost of ecosystem collapse? A $2.7 trillion hit to global GDP by 2030. The effects on business would be significant. Global supply chains are already feeling impacts as water shortages, deforestation and other stressors from human activity mount, causing potential business continuity disruptions.
There’s another path: integrating nature-positive goals into your business net zero strategy. Nature action boosts climate mitigation, which can also help secure business longevity and provide a competitive advantage. By aligning your business with nature, you can enhance climate performance, drive innovation and secure long-term growth.

Weathering the Storm: Managing Physical Climate Risks for Business
With record-breaking heat, severe flooding and wildfires disrupting lives in the U.S. and across the world, this summer has been far from “normal.” Business as usual is changing as a result, and companies now must react to energy volatility ⚡, infrastructure damage ⚠️, supply chain disruptions 📦 and more. Companies with and without direct physical assets face climate risks in their supply chains, but addressing these risks offers significant business opportunities.
The time to act is now. The business case for safeguarding against physical risks to supply chains is clear. We have a new explainer on the 3 ways climate risks are increasing costs for businesses and what sustainability professionals needs to know.
💡 Environmental Climate Justice Considerations for Long-Term Resilience: As companies manage their physical risks, it’s crucial to recognize the disproportionate impacts that extreme weather events have on marginalized groups, like low-income communities and communities of color. Prioritizing efforts in the communities where your company operates can help mitigate these harms. This involves investing in infrastructure improvements, supporting disaster preparedness and recovery and engaging in community-centered planning.
