Just Transition for Climate Adaptation

This policy brief outlines how large multinational corporations can implement climate adaptation actions in a just and equitable manner to minimize risks to supply chains, workers, and communities.

• Large multinational corporations face climate risks from physical impacts on their workforce, production, and supply chains, as well as from maladaptation or transition risks caused by policy and technology changes driven by mitigation efforts.
• Climate risks can create knock-on effects across entire supply chains, impacting communities, livelihoods, workers, and businesses. To address this, companies must pursue adaptation actions that do not leave downstream suppliers, workers, or their communities behind or redistribute risk.
• Pursuing a just transition through equitable adaptation and large-scale investments, as well as new coalitions and partnerships, helps businesses create a more sustainable environment by reducing inequality and mitigating systemic climate risks and adverse social, economic, or political restructuring.
