The Resilience Opportunity Unlocking Climate Resilience through Public Private Collaboration 2025

Six archetypes for private-sector actors to engage in climate resilience TABLE 1 Archetype Description Value realization or commercial model 1 Joint protection for own operationsCo-invest in climate resilience measures with public actors to protect own physical assets, facilities and workforce from climate risksAvoided direct losses due to climate hazards, reduced operation disruption, lower insurance premiums, improved business continuity 2 Joint investment in supply chain resiliencePartner with public or private actors to invest in infrastructure or services that secure upstream or downstream supply chain resilienceReduced disruptions from production and delivery, reduced sourcing costs and supply chain volatility 3 Revenue stream from adaptation benefitsInvest in or deliver climate adaptation infrastructure or services where the resilience benefit has a paying customer (e.g. climate- resilient water systems)Revenue from direct payments for use (e.g. payment for ecosystem services, user fees), or service-based risk-sharing (e.g. insurance premiums) 4 Monetization of co-benefitsGenerate and monetize environmental or social co-benefits (e.g. blue carbon credits, sustainable agriculture products, biodiversity services)Return through sales of verified carbon credits or sustainable products (e.g. seaweed, regenerative crops) 5 Asset value uplift from climate resilienceInvest in climate resilience that improves surrounding assets or ecosystems, increasing the value of owned or adjacent assetsAsset value gain through land value/property appreciation, higher rental or lease income, or enhanced asset performance over time 6 Collaboration for diffused economic benefitsInvest in building broader societal resilience that protects or enhances societal continuity, market stability and license to operate in vulnerable regionsStill relatively nascent, potentially through ABM to generate CABs to reflect the impact Source: Boston Consulting Group (BCG) analysis.
