Our carbon strategy and policy services give companies and organisations a competitive advantage by providing economically sound, practical and sustainable solutions to evolving climate change policy and business environments both in climate change regulated and non-regulated sectors.

Corporate Strategy

Climate Change Response works with organisations in a corporate advisory role to identify and understand their strategic risks and the opportunities presented by climate change. We then develop a practical climate change response strategy that will reduce the risks and optimise the opportunities. Our strategies include consideration of emerging legislative frameworks, investor reporting requirements, emerging markets for carbon solutions and the direct physical impacts of projected climate change. We can assist to develop your “Carbon Neutral” or “Net Carbon Emissions” Strategy and employee engagement programs.

Risk Assessment

Many organisations are uncertain how to translate scientific climate change data into meaningful actions and tangible strategies. Climate change requires adaptation to physical changes and greenhouse gas emissions to reduce, both of which create new risks for businesses, organisations and Government. Some of these risks include direct physical risk, regulatory risk, market and competitiveness risk, litigation risk and reputation risk.

There are a range of established and emerging risk management and decision making approaches in relation to climate change risk. Climate Change Response can use its extensive experience in the application of risk management and business improvement processes in a climate change context to assist an organisation to assess the impacts and risks from climate change and develop action plans to minimise those risks.

Policy Development and Analysis

Climate Change Response provides up-to-date information on national and international developments in energy and greenhouse gas related policies, mitigation strategies and sustainability frameworks. We also provide up-to-date information on Government and other funding schemes for initiatives in greenhouse gas reduction and energy efficiency technologies and measures. Our understanding of this information is the foundation for providing our clients with reliable and valuable policy advice and analysis in step with national and international developments.
