can save local animals in our neighborhoods by supporting small, locally owned businesses.”

Future-proof Your Organization: Strategies to Thrive in a Climate-impacted World
Apr 12 @ 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
The Collider

The Collider presents a one and a half-day workshop designed to equip business leaders and managers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the rapidly-developing discipline of climate adaptation.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity for leaders, executives, and professionals to engage with leading climate and industry experts to:

  • Understand emerging environmental impacts, changing legislation, and reporting and disclosure requirements
  • Develop and integrate critical climate transition strategies into business models
  • Engage with employees and stakeholder to build and sustain organizational resilience

Overview:

Businesses across sectors face an array of challenges that necessitate a proactive approach to climate adaptation. From the retail industry to manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond, the impacts of climate change pose multifaceted threats that demand immediate attention and strategies for building near and long term resilience. With less unpredictable and extreme weather events becoming more frequent, business leaders need information, tools, and tactics to address disruptions to existing supply chains, infrastructure, and daily operations.

These challenges underscore the relevance and urgency of climate adaptation for businesses of all sizes, across sectors, and at every level of the value chain.  The ability to anticipate, plan for, and adapt to these challenges is not only a matter of survival but also a strategic imperative. Forward-thinking businesses recognize that resilience in the face of climate change is a key driver of long-term success. Through collaborative efforts, innovative solutions, and a commitment to sustainability, businesses can not only weather the storm of climate challenges but also emerge as leaders in a rapidly changing world.

Participants of this two-day, immersive workshop can expect:
Intensive Interaction, Tailored Learning, and Directed and Relevant Crafted Content.

Agenda Overview:

  • Day 1: Understanding Climate Adaptation (9:00a to 5:00p)
  • Day 2: Implementing Adaptation (9:00a to 12:30p)

About The Facilitator:

Patrick Marchman, AiCP, SCR, is a leader in environmental policy, hazard mitigation and disaster risk reduction, and climate.  An American Planning Association-certified planner and Global Association of Risk Professional, Patrick has worked with companies in a range of sectors including health care, energy, manufacturing, and transportation, among others, as well as for public sector agencies and non-profits at all levels. He has also been deeply involved in developing standards of practice for climate adaptation and emerging topics such as managed retreat and the role of AI in climate risk, and believes that the time for business to take adaptation seriously is now.

Patrick’s 20+ year career includes presenting at numerous conferences and appearing in print and podcast media. He also mentors and coaches the next generation of climate leaders worldwide.
