Climate Change Business Impact:

Primarily, we investigate and report on environmental impact issues relating to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act, as well as provide information on climate outlooks and projections, tailored specifically to your location or the location of your business interests.

With climate change increasing the risk to the day to day operations of your business, being on the front foot in understanding and adapting to these changes will be essential for your business’ survival and growth.

We are able to deliver this information on site, or remotely. We will also offer, soon, seasonal climate outlook information nationally via subscription.

Agricultural Sector Vulnerabilities
  • Crop Yield Disruptions
    • Changing precipitation patterns reduce predictable planting and harvesting cycles
    • Increased frequency of extreme weather events (droughts, floods) can destroy entire crop seasons
    •  Shifting temperature zones may render traditional crop varieties unsuitable for historical growing regions
Agricultural Profit Specific Challenges
  • Productivity Decline
    • Reduced crop yields from heat stress and water scarcity
    • Increased pest and disease pressures in changing ecological conditions
    • Livestock productivity diminished by heat stress and reduced grazing quality
Supply Chain Risks
  • Resource Scarcity
    • Water shortages impact manufacturing and agricultural production
    • Increased raw material volatility due to climate-related production challenges
    • Higher transportation costs from infrastructure damage and extreme weather events

Climate change is not just an environmental issue, but a fundamental business risk that requires proactive strategic planning, investment in resilience, and adaptive capabilities across all sectors.

Direct Operational Costs
  • Infrastructure Vulnerability
    • Physical damage to facilities from more frequent and intense storms
    • Increased energy costs for cooling/heating due to temperature extremes
    • Potential relocation expenses for high-risk geographical areas
Financial and Investment Risks
  • Market Valuation Impacts
    • Investors increasingly screening companies for climate resilience
    • Potential devaluation of assets in high-risk climate zones
    • Increased compliance and adaptation costs reducing profit margins
Regulatory and Compliance Pressures
  • Emerging Climate Regulations
    • Mandatory emissions reporting
    • Carbon pricing mechanisms
    • Increased sustainability disclosure requirements
    • Potential penalties for non-compliance with environmental standards
Insurance and Risk Management
  • Higher Risk Assessments
    • Increased insurance premiums in climate-vulnerable sectors / regions
    • Potential reduced insurability for high-risk assets
    • More complex risk modeling and management strategies required
Technology and Adaptation Costs
  • Investment in Resilience
    • Required upgrades to climate-resistant technologies
    • Development of alternative production methods
    • Research and development for climate adaptation strategies

Let’s set up some time to discuss how we can help mitigate the risks you face.
