Investors face climate risk. Why? Because climate change impacts the companies in which they invest. Risks could include physical damage from a storm, or regulatory risk from mitigation policies that might affect companies’ profitability. So, how can investors manage their climate risk? They can seek to influence the companies they invest in. Investors can encourage companies to reduce their climate impacts (e.g., emissions), to decrease global climate risk. They can also encourage companies to adapt to decrease their susceptibility to impending climate impacts. But do investors really have sway on companies? They can – especially if they form investor coalitions. When multiple institutional investors join forces to advocate for company change, they improve their chances of success. But not all coalitions are made equal. Recent research has identified the factors which increase a coalition’s chance at successfully driving climate action.

Business Can Regenerate Nature 🏞️ An inspiring case study from Finnish Lakes Network for Business Sustainability (NBS) showcases how local fishers used business strategies to restore damaged lakes while generating revenue.

Have you seen an explosion of business approaches described as “regenerative?” The term is certainly becoming more common. But many leaders still aren’t clear on what regeneration looks like in practice. This case study provides a great example. The gist? When native fish disappeared in thousands of lakes across Finland, local fishers devised a regenerative business model to turn things around – ecologically and economically. Swipe through the graphic to learn how they did it. And, read the case study to find out how you can apply some of the fishers’ learnings to a regenerative project in your life! Find the case here: https://lnkd.in/g6aFmCct This case study is based on research by Oana Branzei (Ivey Business School at Western University) and Laura Albareda (LUT School of Business and Management). #regenerativebusiness #ecosystemrestoration #sustainablebusiness #sustainableinnovation
