BACLIAT: Business Areas Climate Assessment Tool

This tool comprises a set of workshops for business as follows:

A: Assessing past weather:

Draws on experience of past weather events to explore your current vulnerability

B: Business areas and future climate:

Uses generic business areas to help brainstorm the potential impacts of future climate change (the traditional BACLIAT)

C: Changing business practices:

Three alternative workshops aimed at exploring adaptation responses

Each contains background information, step by step guidance on how to run the workshop and a set of supporting resources.

Speed BACLIAT is a downloadable spreadsheet that can be completed as a desk-based exercise as a first iteration.

Although primarily designed as workshop resources for business, BACLIAT has been used successfully in a range of different settings. They can also be used as part of a wider adaptation planning process. See How to use for an introduction.
