DEVELOPING YOUR CLIMATE RESILIENCE PLAN

A climate resilience plan assists in testing the performance of an organization’s assets, operations, and supply chains in future climate conditions and helps in finding adaptation options that work in more than one scenario. This helps in applying resilience planning from theory to action to reduce risk associated with climate change.

COMPLETE PHASE 1: CLIMATE RISK ASSESSMENT

WHAT IS CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Climate risk and resilience planning is now a critical aspect of corporate sustainability and operational strategy. As global temperatures rise, extreme weather events, changing precipitation patterns, and regulatory changes are presenting new challenges to businesses. Organizations that proactively develop a climate resilience plan are better positioned to protect assets, maintain operations, and demonstrate leadership to investors, clients and regulators.

Tunley Environmental’s Climate Risk and Resilience Service provides a structured, two-phase process delivered by our PhD-level scientists, ensuring scientific precision and credibility. The first phase identifies and evaluates climate-related risks through a comprehensive climate risk assessment, while the second phase focuses on the development of a forward-looking climate resilience plan that translates insight into practical, costed actions. Together, these provide clients with both a clear understanding of their vulnerabilities and an actionable pathway to strengthen long-term preparedness and resilience.

Targeted mitigation actions

A structured climate resilience plan helps organizations prioritize practical, high-impact mitigation actions based on their risks and vulnerabilities.

Regulatory & Disclosure Readiness

Outputs align with recognized frameworks such as TCFD, and CSRD, strengthening climate-related reporting and audit confidence.

Stronger stakeholder confidence

A robust climate resilience roadmap demonstrates proactive planning and strengthens confidence among investors, regulators and wider stakeholders.

Operational Continuity

Tailored climate resilience solutions support operational continuity by reducing downtime, service disruption, and supply chain impacts during climate-related events.

Reduced Financial Impact

By identifying vulnerabilities early, organizations can reduce recovery costs and financial exposure through informed resilience planning.

Evidence-based decision making

Specialist climate resilience consulting provides evidence-based insight into which adaptation and mitigation measures deliver the greatest resilience benefit, supporting smarter investment decisions.

HOW TUNLEY CAN HELP

A climate resilience plan helps organizations test how their assets, operations and supply chains will perform under future climate conditions and identify adaptation measures that remain effective across multiple scenarios. This enables resilience planning to move beyond theory and into practical, decision-ready action.

Tunley's climate resilience consulting services support organizations in developing a robust climate resilience roadmap grounded in scientific evidence. Our approach delivers practical climate resilience solutions aligned with business priorities, regulatory expectations and operational realities.

Risk and Resilience Assessments - phase approaches-04 US

We develop climate resilience plans that translate your climate risk assessment into a tailored plan for your site or supply chain. We assess your organization’s exposure to climate-related risks and translate complex climate data into business-focused insights.

Our assessment provides:

Physical Risk Analysis - Exposure to flooding, extreme heat, storms, drought, wildfire, and sea-level rise across assets and operations
Transition Risk Analysis - Regulatory change, carbon pricing, investor pressure, market shifts, and supply chain disruption
Reputational Risk Analysis – Risks specific to your business and its sector which could influence its reputation should something occur to the business
Scenario Modelling - Risk evaluation under different global warming pathways (e.g. 1.5°C, 2°C, 4°C)
Financial & Operational Impact Insight - Identification of revenue, asset, and cost implications
Actionable Adaptation Planning - Clear, prioritized recommendations to strengthen resilience

You receive a structured assessment aligned to recognized frameworks such as TCFD and CSRD where relevant.

Step 6: Identify Resilience Measures

Development of a climate resilience plan is an iterative process. Once climate risks have been prioritized based on your organization's climate risk assessment, a resilience plan can be developed. This process requires conversations between Tunley Environmental and your team to ensure the best plan of action to ensure resilience across your site. Think of it as a research project, not based on specific steps, but utilizing identified risks to develop a tangible plan to ensure long-term climate resilience. This may include:

Information gathering, interview/questionnaires (filled out in the risk assessment if completed).
Preliminary suggestions of resilience measures, put together by our team. To be presented and discussed to ensure these suggestions are feasible and beneficial to your site.
Provision of a climate resilience plan with detailed benefits/impacts to increase resilience at your site to the specific climate risks identified.

This is delivered as Phase 2 because a Climate Resilience Plan must be built on a completed Climate Risk Assessment. A clear understanding of material risks is essential before effective adaptation strategies can be developed.

Where a robust climate risk assessment has already been undertaken, whether internally, by Tunley, or by a third party, we can build directly on that existing analysis to develop your resilience plan.

A Climate Resilience Plan delivers tangible value beyond compliance. It provides a pathway on how to integrate and increase the resilience of your organization to the greatest climate risks specific to your site.

Clear Visibility of Risk Exposure

You gain a structured understanding of where your organization is most exposed, across sites, assets, and supply chains, under multiple climate scenarios, and are provided solutions to imbed resilience into your organization.

Prioritized Action Plan

Rather than a list of theoretical risks, you receive a focused set of resilience measures, enabling confident resource allocation.

Stronger Governance & Board Oversight

The assessment supports enterprise risk management and provides verified evidence for board-level review and fiduciary responsibility.

Regulatory & Disclosure Readiness

Outputs align with recognized frameworks such as TCFD, and CSRD, strengthening climate-related reporting and audit confidence.

Operational Continuity

By identifying vulnerabilities early and planning for resilience, organizations can reduce downtime, protect critical infrastructure, and minimize disruption from extreme weather events.

Improved Investor Confidence

Demonstrating proactive climate risk management enhances credibility with financial stakeholders and supports long-term access to capital.

Long-Term Strategic Resilience

The assessment informs capital investment decisions, site selection, insurance negotiations, and supply chain planning, ensuring your organization remains stable and competitive in a changing climate.
