Climate Change and Business
It is clear that an understanding of climate change risk will play an important part in business planning. As a result, a process of due diligence will appraise and assess climate change risk for four reasons:
- to protect professional indemnity
- to counteract charges of negligence from shareholders
- to show best practice
- to attract the ethical investor market.
Climate change scientists would therefore play an important role in:
- assessing climate risks over different timescales and using different scenarios (scenario planning).
- quantifying risk using the latest General Circulation Model runs for selected regions.
- outlining the likely success of business strategies in the light of this information.
We would employ a tiered approach to decision making and risk assessment by offering the following services:
- scoping studies
- in-depth assessments
- due diligence analysis for third parties
- technical support for writing company reports
- a climate change advisory committee which would be seconded to major companies.
