Integrated Transition Planning: A Short Introduction 

Climate, nature and social priorities increasingly interact in ways that reshape business risk, value creation and longterm resilience. Integrated transition planning provides a framework to connect these dimensions, not as separate priorities and initiatives, but as a linkedup strategy embedded in core business processes. 

This short primer from WBCSD and ERM introduces the concept of integrated transition planning, outlining: 

• Why integration matters as physical risks intensify, nature dependencies grow and expectations accelerate. 
• What integration delivers: efficiencies, new opportunities, strengthened resilience, clearer trade‑off management and improved investor confidence. 
• How companies can get started, including early actions, governance foundations, KPIs and decision rules. 
• Examples from leading companies already applying integrated climate-naturesocial approaches across sectors. 

The primer draws on guidance from TPT, NGFS, TNFD and WBCSD and provides a  practical entry point to WBCSD’s further work on integrated transition planning.
