Climate change is bad for businesses. Or is it…? While climate change does threaten industries and livelihoods, some businesses are identifying exciting opportunities and developing solutions. The global climate change consulting market alone is expected to reach $9.1 billion by 2031. That's a lot of green in more ways than one! ???? Check out some other ways forward-thinking companies are turning climate challenges into profitable ventures ?? To find out more, check out our latest #Alter article: https://shorturl.at/uGw6b Thanks to Andrea Geyer-Scholz of Smart Cities Consulting GmbH for expert input on this. #climateadaptation #climateresilience #climatemitigation #climatechange #business #cleanenergy #climatetech

The Parliamentarians’ Guide to Climate Change has been published, empowering decision makers with vital, evidence based insights on tackling the #climatecrisis. Produced by the University of Exeter and Peers for the Planet, this guide highlights our path to a #netzero future and the essential role of resilient #ecosystems in securing a #sustainable tomorrow. Key insights include: 1. Net Zero: Framing #climateaction as a pathway to economic and social gains, not just costs. 2. #Biodiversity & Polar regions: Protecting natural #ecosystems as key #climate stabilisers. 3. Empowering developing economies: Prioritising financial, technological, and capacity building support to ensure global climate equity. 4. Adaptation & resilience: Preparing communities to thrive amid existing and emerging climate impacts. This guide underscores the need for urgent, collective action and shows how climate solutions can drive economic, #environmental, and social benefits. Let's continue to advocate for policies that will shape a healthy, sustainable world for future generations. #ValueMatch

As climate change accelerates, the world is facing more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and other unprecedented environmental challenges. But how do we adapt to these changes? Why isn’t simply reducing carbon emissions enough? And what will adaptation mean for vulnerable regions, businesses, and everyday people? In this episode, David Wortmann from DWR eco sits down with Henry Neufeldt, Head of Impact Assessment and Adaptation Analysis at UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, to dive into these questions. Together, they break down what #climateadaptation really means, explore its urgency, and discuss the role of adaptation policy. They also look at the adaptation finance gap, which stands at a staggering $194-366 billion per year, and consider how public and private sectors can work together to close it. Following this discussion, Nikolas Samios, Managing Partner of PT1, and Kamil Kluza, Co-Founder & COO of Climate X, join to share how data-driven business solutions are helping organizations adapt. In the episode wrap-up, David and Nikolas highlight the key takeaways, leaving listeners with a clear understanding of why climate adaptation is essential—and how we can start preparing for the future. Tune in to learn about the crucial steps we need to take to adapt to our changing world. Thank you Leon Martini for support with this great analysis! #AdaptationTech #climatemitigation #climateadaptation #climatepolicy #CleanTech Doreen R.

#ClimateWeekNYC begins today, a critical moment to accelerate global efforts towards a sustainable future. We’re proud to join thought leaders, policymakers, and innovators to drive the conversation on how we can collectively achieve a net-zero economy. At the Energy Transitions Commission, we believe that reaching net-zero is not only economically and technically feasible but essential for a prosperous future.?By working together across sectors, governments, and societies, we can unlock the transformative changes needed to decarbonise the global economy. Join us and Climate Group as we spotlight the solutions and strategies that can turn ambition into action. Let’s make this a week of impactful dialogue and meaningful progress! #NetZero #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/dEBDih7

I’ll hold back further comments on the current government crisis in #Germany and the rollback in the U.S. Cynical as it may sound: we need to prepare for #climate #adaptation – not just as a necessity but also as a #business and #investment opportunity (while continuing to prioritize climate protection). To dive into this important topic, we’ve launched a new podcast series [HEAT]. Episode 1 sets the foundation for the conversation. ??? Please share, comment, and subscribe to the podcast! ??

Environmental science and policy must be considered TOGETHER for realistic #climateaction to exist. Here's what I learned from a recent paper I read: The Global North and the Global South have different ideas about what is needed for positive climate progress. The Global North is focused on green technology while the Global South is focused on mitigation. These decisions are based on one primary factor... the #economy! This information is not revolutionary, it just seems something we tend to ignore. The only way to give everyone a chance is to work towards COLLABORATION. We need to look at green #technology and mitigation, not just the one that benefits our respective economies. The "climate economy" doesn't care who we are. It will not wait for us. We are so close to the 2 degrees C tipping point with little way for recovery. It's supposed to be scary. But to quote legendary global climate leader Christiana Figueres, "impossible is not a fact, it is an attitude." We CAN DO the impossible ?? You in? Kindness Always ????

Many people acknowledge the importance of climate action but often fail to act accordingly due to a complex interplay of psychological, social, and practical factors. Understanding these reasons can help in addressing the gap between belief and action. New research shows why people support climate action but then do not act.

Happy Earth Day! ?? Today marks an annual global movement dedicated to raising awareness and taking action to protect our environment. At?Plan A, our commitment to preserving our planet is steadfast as we work daily to create a climate-conscious economy and lead the charge to decarbonise businesses worldwide. Decarbonisation is a collective effort. We must educate, commit, and empower one another with the tools and expertise needed to achieve net-zero emissions. In honour of Earth Day, we're thrilled to kick off a week-long series sharing insightful tips for corporate decarbonisation. Each day, one of our experts will provide invaluable insights to drive climate action forward. Building climate literacy is fundamental to effecting meaningful change. Stay tuned for new videos dropping here every day. Let's make this Earth Day count and continue our commitment every day after that as we work together towards a more sustainable future. #EarthDay?#Decarbonisation?#Sustainability

At Climate Action Accelerator, we put the preservation of planetary boundaries at the centre of our climate action. Faced with the urgency of the climate crisis, a radical transformation of our practices is needed. So, what is our acceleration model and how does it work? The Lab ???We operationalise pathways to net zero and resilience through pilot programmes, where we design, test and learn from solutions and roadmaps with our partner organisations in the aid, health and higher education sectors. Capacity Building ???We focus on empowering a large number of organisations through collective cycles, mentoring, and monitoring. Our tailor-made and scalable climate solutions help showcase that climate action can be simple, feasible and beneficial. Domino effect ????We believe in the power of the domino effect. Our partner organisations act as “vectors of change” and replicate their commitments within their respective spheres of influence and get more organisations on board for an exponential impact. ???Take a look around our website, explore our solutions and what our partners are up to: https://lnkd.in/deUShQNs ???Become a champion for change.
