Location

Wednesday 22 February at the Environment Agency Offices in Solihull. The second workshop will take place in Staffordshire, with the venue and date to be confirmed.

Have you considered how the climate and extreme weather will impact on your business? The changing climate has the potential for wide ranging effects on your business, some of which may be positive while many others could result in unexpected costs, business interruption or loss of reputation. Many businesses are already affected by natural weather variability and could benefit from more systematic planning.

Using the UKCIP Business Areas Climate Assessment Tool (BACLIAT) this interactive workshop will help delegates to determine their vulnerability to climate impacts and severe weather, consider adaptation options, and identify any potential emerging business opportunities.

Why should I attend? Delegates attending the workshop will leave with a greater understanding of how a changing climate and extreme weather may impact on their business and how they can respond. Each delegate will leave the event with a bespoke climate scoping report relevant to their business.

Target Audience The workshop is targeted primarily at small to medium sized businesses and social enterprises from across the West Midlands, however larger businesses that have not yet considered these issues may also attend.
