Nigeria was one of the first countries to commit to the ISSB's IFRS S1 and S2 sustainability standards. Under the Financial Reporting Council's amended roadmap, adoption is voluntary until 2027 and becomes mandatory for public interest entities for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2028. SMEs follow from 2030. The SEC also required public companies to submit implementation plans by 15 October 2026.
What IFRS S2 asks about physical risk Companies must disclose climate-related risks and opportunities that could affect their prospects. Physical risks include: - Acute events such as floods, storms and heatwaves. - Chronic shifts such as rising temperatures, changing rainfall and sea-level rise.
Investors want to know which assets are exposed, how badly and what you're doing about it.
A practical assessment approach 1. Geolocate every asset: plants, warehouses, branches, farms and key suppliers. 2. Screen hazards at each location: flood, heat, drought, erosion and coastal exposure. 3. Use scenarios to see how risk changes under different warming pathways. 4. Estimate financial impact: downtime, damage, insurance and supply disruption. 5. Link to strategy: adaptation investments, siting decisions and insurance.
Common pitfalls - Using country-level data for site-level questions. - Ignoring supply chains. - One-off assessments that are never updated.
StrikeClimate provides asset-level physical climate-risk screening and board-ready reports to support IFRS S2 disclosures.
