CLARA: Climate Adaptation Resource for Advisors

Climate change will have many implications for small businesses, but busy managers of small businesses often find it difficult to plan for a future climate that seems so uncertain and far off. Adapting to climate change therefore presents a particular challenge to the small business community.

This resource is primarily aimed at helping business advisors to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in understanding and preparing for the impacts of climate change. However, the factsheets are designed to be accessed directly by the business community. It does not cover issues relating to measuring or reducing carbon footprints or improving energy efficiency.

UKCIP’s programme of work with business has been running since 2004. A key part of this is to build the capacity of organisations that support, advise and represent the business community.
