Defra's business engagement project is working to determine the most successful methods of engagement, in particular working through regional bodies – RDAs, Regional Climate Change Partnerships and GOs – to run a number of pilot studies in which companies of different sizes, from different sectors and different regions investigate the risks and opportunities to their business. The aim is for Defra to provide the seed corn resource to lever in greater knowledge and skills that regional bodies can offer.

Business in the Community has worked with Defra on two of these projects. The research publications can be downloaded from the links below:

Mitigation, adaptation and resilience - linking business messages on climate change

A Practical Guide for Small Businesses in the West Midlands - Weathering the Storm – Saving and Making Money in a Changing Climate

More information about the Defra research and other the other publications can be found on the Defra website.
