Institute for Future Strategy Issue Brief, June Vol. 37
“Corporate Responses to Climate Risk and Strengthening Resilience”

This issue brief explains the necessity of responding to climate risks in industry, highlights the limitations of current approaches, and presents directions for improvement and related policy implications to enhance corporate resilience. Recent climate disasters at home and abroad have emerged as existential threats to business operations and global supply chains. In response, major countries such as those in Europe and the United States are strengthening climate-risk disclosure requirements, while the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is driving the standardisation of climate-related financial disclosure guidelines, such as those under the TCFD framework—transforming the global regulatory landscape.

Against this backdrop, the brief stresses the need to build advanced climate data infrastructure through machine learning and AI-based analysis, to foster expert groups specialising in climate risk interpretation, and to establish industry-specific risk assessment guidelines. Ultimately, it proposes encouraging companies to voluntarily establish systems for climate risk assessment and response.
