IMM for climate and environmental action
Small and growing businesses have a meaningful role in climate and environmental action. “Green” entrepreneurs place sustainability at the core of their value proposition, developing innovative solutions in clean tech, climate change adaptation, conservation, and more. Meanwhile, enterprises across all sectors and industries are being encouraged to lower their emissions, consider climate resilience planning, and adopt more environmentally-friendly practices.
This topic area is large and can be challenging to navigate, as it intersects multiple sectors and there is no single standard or agreed-upon system for measuring climate and environmental impacts. However, there are many tools to help entrepreneurs and support organizations measure their climate and environmental impacts, both negative and positive. This is crucial for entrepreneurs who do not have the resources or technical knowledge to assess metrics such as CO2 emissions, although there are some interesting new digital solutions in that regard. However, there are still relatively few resources for those working in climate change adaptation and resilience. Below are best practices and resources to help navigate the complex topic of climate and environmental IMM.
