From risk to resilience: Why nature-based solutions must be on every CEO’s agenda
They hold the key to enhancing resilience against financial risks linked to climate change
CLIMATE risk has already exposed the fragility of our global supply chains.
Take semiconductors for example: Their production requires vast amounts of water, and droughts in Taiwan have already threatened manufacturing that impacts the electronics industry worldwide. These challenges are not isolated. Similar vulnerabilities exist across agriculture, textiles and logistics, where disruption ripples through entire supply chains.
At the same time, our physical assets are losing value as climate risks mount, operating costs are climbing, and investors are demanding far greater resilience. These nature-based risks result in interconnected risks and require interconnected solutions.
