Bringing climate change to the centre of decision making

Foreseeable provides climate change advisory services targeted at assisting strategy managers, risk managers, sustainability managers, CFOs and other key decision makers that have been tasked with understanding, managing and reporting on climate change.

The world we are operating in today will be quite different in ten or twenty years time due to the impacts climate change will have – both the physical changes we will experience and the economic transition we are going to need to go through to stave off the worst of the impacts.  Investing some time and resources to better understand how this future may impact on your organization will put you in a better place to manage risk and take opportunities.

While some climate impacts may appear to be well out into the future the organisations that are able to foresee these and start to adjust their strategies today will be better placed to respond.

Are you ready to move forward with your climate change maturity?

Welcome

I founded Foreseeable as a way of adding my experience and skillset to helping address the climate change crisis. Through my ten years working within large businesses I have had practical experience of assessing the physical and transitional impacts of climate change in a business context.

I recognise there are a number of organisations that feel daunted by the task of trying to understand what impact climate change may have and how to approach it - I’ve been there too! I firmly believe that organisations already have the ability to adapt and only need the knowledge and the tools to empower them. That’s where Foreseeable comes in.

 Kind words from my clients

Kind words

Louise Pengelly, Group Manager Strategy and Transformation - KiwiRail

Karl provided an easy-to-understand explanation of developments in the carbon market and their potential impact for KiwiRail. He unpacked a complex topic with the use of simple diagrams and relevant examples to produce a useful report for the business. We found Karl a pleasure to work with and would definitely recommend him to other businesses.

Alison Howard, Manager Climate Change Response - Wellington City Council

Karl is the person I call when I want someone to quickly roll up their sleeves and help out on a piece of climate change related work. We needed some heavy lifting done preparing Council’s response to the Climate Change Commission. He quickly took on board what we were trying to achieve and put structure around it to make it easy for myself and other staff to contribute. Some of the best lines in our response were from him! Having worked in sustainability for many years, he really gets the work and the challenges - I’d highly recommend him.

Claire Shaw, General Manager Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Meridian

Karl has honed our approach and energised us to go faster, be transformative, embed good practise and tell our story. Not only did we benefit from the quality of Karl’s work, but by working together we’ve grown a new connection that we will value beyond the life of this project.
