Small businesses are more motivated than ever to take action to protect the planet. But with time, funding, and capacity in short supply, we know there are often obstacles on the path to net zero. With more than 90% of the world’s businesses sitting in this group, the need for support and collaboration cannot be understated. This #EarthDay, we’re proud that the SME Climate Hub is here to help small businesses reduce their emissions by providing the tools, resources, and support that SMEs need to turn their ambition into meaningful action 🌏💪 https://lnkd.in/g6dXinGK

As world leaders gather for the international climate summit #COP28UAE, it’s a good time to amplify food on the climate agenda. According to organizers, one-third of all human-made greenhouse gas emissions come from agri-food systems. Over the course of COP28, members of the Food for Climate League Partner Roundtable are sharing our greatest contributions to climate-smart food systems. The Climate Collaborative is proud to collaborate with other organizations who share our common goal to shape a climate-smart food future. We believe in the power of narratives and norms, which are too often overlooked as key levers for climate action. Intrigued? Learn more about how we're advancing change with the Climate Action Connector tool. Our new tool can help you identify pre-competitive partners, solutions providers, and other resources to support every aspect of your climate work. #COP28UAE #fclpartner #foodandclimate #sustainablefoodsystems @Datassential @Future Food Institute @Game Changers Institute @Greener by Default @Just Salad @KM Zero Food Innovation Hub @Menus of Change University Research Collaborative @Rare @WBCSD https://lnkd.in/ggnNmn4n
