Leveraging the Climate Web
How can anyone be versant in the MANY business-relevant climate change conversations that are underway today, ranging from attribution science to carbon offsets and climate finance, from natural climate solutions and geoengineering to carbon pricing, from business risk assessment and low carbon pathways to blockchain solutions.
How can you best leverage the Climate Web as a tool for better understanding climate warming, assessing the risks climate warming poses to your organization, exploring how climate warming mitigation can best be accomplished, all based on the thinking and work of thousands of experts?
One Option - Ask the Climatographers
You’re always free to let the Climatographers do the walking through the Climate Web. We can customize certain aspects of the Climate Web for you, e.g. by creating customized front doors into the Climate Web. We can also utilize the Climate Web quickly and effectively to deliver Topical Briefings, Webinars, and even E-Courses.

Open Access?
The Climate Web is available to any one on an on-line, open-access basis. But note that the web-based version of TheBrain software is relatively slow and is missing key features. It’s also quite challenging to take advantage of much of the advanced knowledge curation in the Climate Web because of the limitations of the web-based software, so we don’t recommend it for business decision-support applications.
Premium Access
Premium Access lets you download a read-only copy of the entire Climate Web to your computer and mobile devices, and turns the Climate Web into your own personal or organizational research assistant. With FAST and POWERFUL access to everything in the Climate Web, including its 1,000 advanced Dashboards and more than 500 Insights pages, and more than $500 of Topical and Audience Roadmaps, you’ll have a huge head start on advancing your climate goals, whatever they are. Because your Premium Access version is always syncing to the master version of the Climate WeB, you’re getting the equivalent of >1 FTE of ongoing climate research assistance dedicated to improving and expanding the Climate Web. Premium Access is fully compatible with the FREE version of TheBrain software.

Your Climate Change MBA
Your Climate Change MBA is an overlay for the Open Access or Premium Access versions of the Climate Web. Analagous to a comprehensive but dynamic business and climate change textbook, Your Climate Change MBA helps you access the climate-relevant knowledge you need at any given time, pointing you to hundreds of specific spots in the Climate Web depending on what you’re looking for. While Your Climate Change MBA does not result in a professional certification, and is far less costly than such a certification, it provides you with a superior practical benefit.
From the knowns and unknowns of climate change, from physical to systemic risks, from carbon offsets to scenario planning, Your Climate Change MBA probably points you to just about everything you need to support your company in adapting to a rapidly shifting climate risk environment.
