Climate Futures

We help businesses understand how climate change impacts their value chain and strengthen their approach to delivering net-zero and addressing climate consequences.

Many businesses put climate change out into the future as something they can worry about later.  The reality is the impacts are already upon us and the transition to net zero is underway. 

Planning a response requires an understanding of how these impacts may evolve in the future. Foreseeable will help you develop possible views of the future and assess the impact of these on your value chain. 

 

We can utilise a range of existing scenarios as the basis for creating your own future pathways. By considering a wide range of possible future outcomes you will be able to test your current business assumptions against both best and worst case outcomes. 

The findings will help to supercharge your response to climate change.

 

Benefits

Working with Foreseeable to undertake a climate futures exercise will deliver the following benefits for your business:

In control

Having a good understanding of how you may be impacted will inform better decision-making across the organisation.

Clear path ahead

A plan will enable your business to allocate the necessary resources and optimise your efforts to align with your normal business activities and plans.

Improved reputation

Being able to explain your plan to customers, employees, investors and other stakeholders will enhance their impression of you as an organisation.

The Process

Undertaking a Climate Futures exercise is an investment of your organisations time and resources. We recognise this and we will provide a level of service that ensures there are valuable outcomes for the business at the end of the process.

Develop scenarios

Co-create feasible climate scenarios for your organisation considering both the physical changes and the transitional impacts of shifting to a low emissions economy. Foreseeable will help you to identify a range of scenarios that acknowledge the unpredictable nature of climate change and the global and national responses to it.

Review the value chain

Utilise these scenarios to undertake a comprehensive review across the whole value chain to understand where risks or opportunities could emerge from the supply chain and operations through to key markets.  We do this alongside your team either through workshops or interviews.

Create the response

Develop an organisational response to the key climate impacts that will guide decision making around operations, assets, markets and finance. We recognise that any response needs to be flexible to accommodate the uncertainty and changing nature of our understanding of climate change.
