Climate adaptation

Our new report examines how tech-enabled climate adaptation strategies can safeguard business value chains and unlock sustainable growth opportunities

As climate risks intensify, businesses across all sectors face imminent threats to their value chains, from raw material scarcity to infrastructure damage. Our new joint study examines how five emerging climate change technologies can help companies both protect existing value chains from climate risks and generate new opportunities arising from a changing climate through adaptation.

Featuring five real-world case studies implemented by Cambridge Consultants, part of Capgemini, the report offers actionable insights through a three-phase roadmap to guide organizations in embedding adaptation into strategy, operations, and ecosystems, thus converting this pressing challenge into a path toward sustainable growth.

Businesses across all sectors face five critical climate risks along their value chains – natural raw material scarcity, water and energy insecurity, infrastructure damage, market shifts, and impacts on human productivity. Our new report introduces a dual-pathway approach to implementing tech-driven climate adaptation strategies: protecting value by strengthening the resilience of existing systems, and creating value by transitioning to new, climate-resilient models. Companies face distinct challenges in each path, from understanding climate risks and enhancing operational resilience, to identifying viable alternatives and reducing dependency on vulnerable resources. We explore how five emerging climate change technologies – AI, drones, earth observation, IoT, and engineering biology – can help businesses navigate these challenges in pursuit of protecting and capturing sustainable business value.

Real-world case studies from Cambridge Consultants

Drawing on case studies implemented by Cambridge Consultants, part of Capgemini, the report illustrates how these technologies are being applied to address three of the most pressing risks for all businesses: securing raw materials, enabling water and energy security, and building resilient infrastructure.

To guide business action, we present a three-phase roadmap – Build a Foundation, Launch & Growth, and Scale Up phases – to help organizations embed adaptation into strategy, operations, and ecosystems. This structured approach facilitates a move beyond climate risk management by also capturing burgeoning opportunities for sustainable growth.
