Taking stock of business efforts to adapt to climate change

The paper describes the actions that large global businesses are taking on adaptation, what is driving these actions and the barriers they face to doing more. While these barriers can be addressed, it requires businesses to work with governments, civil society and the international community to ensure that efforts can be scaled up and sustained.

The publication finds the following: 

• Enhance knowledge of climate risks and opportunities  
• Make climate risk assessment and disclosures the norm
• Foster collaborations
• Engage in stronger public-private dialogue
