Adam Liddle has gone from analyzing hazardous waste for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency to building sustainability strategy at Jacobs Engineering, and now leads sustainability at Roslin CT, a cell and gene therapy manufacturer where a single disrupted supply chain can mean a lost, life-saving treatment. In this episode, Adam and host Edward Packshaw dig into why physical climate risk gets so much less airtime than net zero targets, even though it hits business continuity directly. They talk through real examples, from a single overseas supplier of a niche pharmaceutical ingredient threatened by warming oceans to the stakeholder engagement work behind Jacobs' global sustainability strategy, and land on a simple reframe: forget the climate jargon, ask what a heatwave or a drought actually costs your business this year. Along the way, Adam shares a striking number from CDP, $1.47 trillion in physical climate risk sitting inside the global economy today, with $10 of return for every $1 invested in resilience.
