ADEME Acknowledges Adaptation Leader for Critical Review of Methodology for Corporate Adaptation Strategy Assessment

The French Environmental Policy Agency ADEME has acknowledged Adaptation Leader for its contribution to the Critical Review of the methodology for its Corporate Adaptation Strategy Assessment. ADEME is about to launch a pilot project to road test the methodology with companies implementing adaptation or resilience strategies. Adaptation Leader teamed with Climate Adaptation Works to provide analysis and recommendations

The Article 7 of the Paris agreement defines the global goal of “enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerabilities to climate change.” Despite recommendations including from #TCFD, the Europe Commission on #CSRD standards, #GFANZ et #IFRSISSB, there is no operational framework about adaptation for companies.

To support this goal, ADEME, through the ACT Initiative, has developed the ACT Adaptation methodology. By providing this climate adaptation accountability framework for companies from all sectors, it aims at assessing the quality and comprehensiveness of company’s adaptation strategy, from their physical risk analysis to their governance. As part of the #ACTinitiative methodology development process, the methodology is being road-tested for 7 months with around 15 volunteered companies from various sectors.

Thank you Adelphi Consult GmbH and the Climate Adaptation Works – Adaptation Leader team for their Critical Reviews that enable to enhance the methodology for the Road Test!
