Climate Connect Aotearoa

ClimateWise went live on Friday for SMEs across Aotearoa. It's a FREE tool to better prepare your workplace for severe weather events. Auckland Council invested $240k into it. And partners gave their time for no cost, Sarah Anderson from Climate Connect Aotearoa said. "A lot of the videos that you see on the website were for free just really because people were seeing the impacts and recognising the gap and the need for something like this." Let me know if this is something your SME will/is finding helpful.

✅ Supporting SMEs in a changing climate 🌏 We’re proud to have supported Climate Connect Aotearoa to launch ClimateWise - a platform that gives businesses the knowledge and tools they need to manage risk and identify new opportunities. As Charlotte Kootstra, our Sustainability Manager for Climate and Environment says, “In the wake of the growing disruptions caused by intensified climate events, businesses must ensure their supply chains are prepared. Suppliers with a climate adaptation plan signal to their customers that there is a lower risk of disruption to the flow of their products or services, particularly during adverse weather events.

It is great to see emerging practical tools such as #ClimateWise assisting businesses with climate impacts. There is a great need for impactful tools to help businesses adapt to a changing climate and address their impacts on Nature. Looking forward to the next phase of our research plan which uses ecological research to inform impacts on nature - adding scientific rigor to future tools.
