Climate Planning for the Private Sector

Business planning for climate change.

Using our understanding of climate risks and response options in the region, this project works with coastal businesses to understand how climate change impacts their organization and what they can do to reduce or eliminate those adverse impacts — while capitalizing upon emergent opportunities. We work with businesses to increase operational resilience, decrease Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and mobilize finance to ensure the region’s coastal businesses can continue to thrive in a warmer world.

Project Goals:

  • Increase awareness and understanding of how climate change impacts individual businesses or ocean-related industry sectors.
  • Increase awareness of strategies that improve resilience to climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in business operations.
  • Tailor climate solutions to business operations and empower businesses with tools to take action.
  • Communicate the impacts of climate change to customer bases and highlight business climate action.
