2dHope to see some of our SMEs coming along to this. SMEs are a huge part of our economy and stand to be the ones at the front line of the impacts of climate change through supply side shocks, extreme weather events and price increases. But they have far less resources than other organisations to deal with these impacts and their voices are often overshadowed by big business and their lobbyists.
