Helping businesses save and make money in a changing climate

A practical guide to help small and medium businesses has been published by Climate East Midlands, called “Weathering the storm: Saving and making money in a changing climate”.

The guide will help businesses understand how they could be affected by weather, including extreme events, and how they can improve their chances of a quick recovery. The guide also sets out business opportunities from responding to a changing climate, and provides useful tools and contact information. Download the guide here.

The guide originated as a DEFRA business pilot study in the West Midlands. It has been fully adapted for the East Midlands to include case studies from:

• Silver Mist Nurseries, Lincolnshire
• Nottingham Trent University
• Lincolnshire caravan parks
• Maxim Logistics Group Ltd, Northamptonshire

We are interested in any feedback you may have on the guide. Please contact Alex Hopkinson, email: [email protected]
