Climate Risk Assessment for Businesses

Changing climate conditions can affect your facilities, operations and suppliers. Extreme heat, heavy rainfall, floods, droughts and wildfires may disrupt business continuity, increase costs and change investment priorities.

CCG helps businesses translate climate information into practical risk assessments and adaptation decisions.

Questions we help you answer

  • Which climate hazards could affect your sites and assets?
  • Which critical functions and dependencies are most vulnerable?
  • How might disruptions affect operations and supply chains?
  • Which adaptation options should be examined first?

Our approach

1. Define the scope. We identify the facilities, operations, critical functions, planning horizons and decisions the assessment needs to support.

2. Assess climate hazards and exposure. We select relevant climate data and scenarios to understand exposure across sites and activities.

3. Evaluate vulnerability and risk. We consider sensitivity and adaptive capacity to understand physical risks and potential business consequences.

4. Prioritize adaptation actions. We examine options according to risk reduction potential, feasibility, implementation horizon and operational constraints.

Potential deliverables

  • A summary of relevant climate hazards and exposure.
  • A documented and prioritized climate risk register.
  • Spatial assessments where appropriate data and scale are available.
  • An initial adaptation roadmap to inform planning and investment.

Start with a focused assessment

A qualitative screening can be a useful first step before detailed analysis of priority sites or suppliers. Depending on the mandate, the approach may draw on ISO 31000 and ISO 14090 principles.
