Building Climate Resilience in Southeast Asia

The private sector in Southeast Asia faces significant risks from climate change, including warming temperatures and sea-level rise, which can impact business strategy, finance, and operations. While there is momentum to reduce emissions, there is a lack of equivalent effort to build resilience, necessitating urgent action to increase adaptive capacity.

• Climate change presents unprecedented risks to business and society in Southeast Asia, specifically through warming temperatures, sea-level rise, more frequent or intense extreme weather events, and threats to ecosystem services.
• Businesses that do not manage climate change risks face potential negative impacts across multiple organizational functions, including strategy, finance, operations, human resources, compliance, and sales and marketing.
• Despite a growing trend of businesses working to reduce emissions, there has not been a corresponding level of effort dedicated to building resilience against climate impacts.
