EcoBuzz: Value at Risk

"What is my Value at Risk as a result of climate change? What can my company do about it in our short, medium and long term planning?" As an individual and a business leader in the private sector, these are the questions you need to ask and integrate into corporate planning, and into disaster and risk management forecasts for your company. Take for example the Aluminium company in Southern Africa that invests in malaria control programmes to monitor shifts in malaria trends as a result of climate change and gets early warnings for the resilience of its future labour force and communities. The time has come to set aside childish things: plan for climate change realities rather than praying they don't exist. http://www.acclimatise.uk.com/resources/reports
