Firms in Nigeria's energy and extractive industries face intensifying climate-related transition and physical risk, yet management research has rarely tested how the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities, sensing, seizing, and transforming, translate into climate-resilient organizational performance in this setting. Building on Teece's dynamic capabilities framework, this paper develops and specifies an empirically testable model in which sensing capability (the identification and interpretation of climate-related threats and opportunities), seizing capability (the mobilization of resources and business-model responses to those threats and opportunities), and transforming capability (the reconfiguration of organizational assets, routines, and structures) are hypothesized as sequential yet interacting drivers of climate resilience, with institutional and regulatory pressure specified as a boundary condition. The paper situates this model within the empirical tradition established by dynamic-capabilities studies of oil and gas, coal, and shipping incumbents confronting decarbonization and climate transition pressure, and extends that tradition to a Nigerian context marked by a distinctive combination of climate exposure, regulatory volatility, and community-level accountability contestation. A mixed-methods research design is specified, combining a firm-level quantitative survey of Nigerian oil, gas, and solid-minerals companies, analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling, with semi-structured interviews to validate and contextualize the quantitative findings. Four hypotheses and a moderation proposition are advanced for empirical testing. The paper is positioned as a research design contribution consistent with Business Strategy and the Environment's focus on firm-level strategic responses to environmental and climate pressure, and it lays the empirical groundwork for the data-collection phase of this research program.
