Just Transition for Climate Adaptation

The brief outlines the necessity for multinational corporations to adopt just adaptation strategies to protect workers, communities, and supply chains from climate risks, proposing seven recommendations to avoid maladaptation and systemic instability.

• Climate risks for multinational corporations originate from physical impacts on production, workforce, and supply chains, as well as from maladaptation or transition risks caused by policy and technology shifts driven by mitigation.
• Adaptation actions must be designed to prevent the redistribution of risk and ensure that downstream suppliers, workers, and their communities are not marginalized as climate impacts ripple through supply chains.
• Pursuing a just transition through equitable adaptation creates a more sustainable business environment by reducing inequality and mitigating systemic risks, political instability, and adverse socio-economic restructuring.
• The realization of resilient business operations and supply chains requires the formation of new coalitions, partnerships, and significant investments in equitable adaptation.
