AXA Climate and Climate School are releasing an insightful white paper, specifically designed to help businesses effectively adapt to the inevitable consequences of global warming, with a particular focus managing climate adaptation strategies and challenges faced by the United Kingdom.
As the global climate conversation decisively moves from commitments to tangible actions, British businesses face unique climate-related risks—from increased flooding affecting supply chains to heatwaves impacting employee productivity.

This reality emphasises the urgent need for businesses to prioritise climate adaptation alongside ongoing carbon reduction efforts.
