SECCCA – Small business climate adaptation toolkit launch

South East Councils Climate Change Alliance are launching their Small Business Climate Adaptation Toolkit for Small Business.

This interactive toolkit is designed to help small business owners prepare for the impacts of climate change by building an adaptation plan for their business. The small business adaptation toolkit is a seven-step process to help business owners:

Get into the mindset for adaptation
Understand the climate impacts in their area
Understand the vulnerability of their business
Consider the risks and opportunities for their business
List the adaptation options (short and long term)
Develop an action plan for adapting their business
Implement, check and review their adaptation action plan.

The toolkit should take 45 to 90 minutes to complete and can be downloaded here, including a literature review.

This toolkit has been piloted with a selection of small businesses local to the SECCCA region across a variety of sectors. Their case studies are found here
