What is Small Business Climate Map?

Small Business Climate Map is a set of simple online tools that shows how climate change could affect your business, your suppliers and your customers. It pulls together public data on weather, laws, costs and trade and turns it into plain-English views you can use in real decisions.

You do not need to be a climate expert. You type in a business or a supplier, and the tools show you what they are likely to face, when it might hit, and practical steps you could take.

Who it is for

What you can do here

Use one, a few or all of the tools. Each one answers a different question. Together, they give you a picture of how climate change could shape your work, your suppliers and your customers.

Supply Chain Map

See which suppliers and customers are likely to feel climate pressure first, and how.

What it means for you
  • Put your own business at the centre, or put any supplier at the centre and see the chain build out around them.
  • Sight of pressure building on your supply chain, so you can talk it through with the people you've worked with for years before it lands on either of you.
  • A heads-up on which customers are likely to start asking sustainability questions, and roughly when, so you're ready before they do.
  • Identify opportunities: new postcodes, new sectors, new customers.
  • Something you can save and refer back to, or share with anyone you're working with.

Where the answers come from

Every line in the tools links back to public data. For example, when you see "high flood risk in 2040," it is based on city risk data and climate science, not guesswork.

The tools draw on World Bank, IPCC, NGFS, Climate Policy Radar, UN Comtrade, DEFRA, SASB and city-level flood, heat, drought and storm data, plus 30+ more sources, all linked so you can check them yourself.

World Bank
country-by-country numbers on money, jobs, weather, services.
IPCC
three different ways climate change could play out.
NGFS scenarios:
what central banks, banks and lenders are bracing for.
Climate Policy Radar
Climate Policy Radar's database of climate laws, policies and UN submissions.
UN Comtrade
who's buying and selling what, country to country.
DEFRA
the UK government's carbon numbers; what the Logbook does its sums against.
SASB
for any industry, the sustainability bits that actually matter.
City risk data
flood, heat, drought, storm risk, for 996 towns and cities.
Plus 30+ more, all linked.

What these tools are (and are not)

These tools surface signals from public data and invite you to act on them. They are a head start for your thinking, not financial, legal, investment or compliance advice. Your judgement, and when needed your accountant, insurer or lawyer, turns signals into decisions.
