Climate Change Weather Survey for You


Climate SouthWest is repeating the business survey we last undertook in 2011. We are trying to reach a wider range of businesses across the South West to see how they have been affected by extreme weather and what actions have been taken as a consequence. We would appreciate it if you could forward the following e-mail to any of your contacts who you feel would be suitable to take part in our survey.

The impacts of Climate Change and severe weather are becoming an increasingly important issue and challenge for businesses.

In 2011 Climate SouthWest undertook a survey to see how tourism businesses were preparing and adapting to climate change. We are now repeating and widening this survey to see how the recent extreme weather has impacted businesses across the South West. We are also keen to find out what action businesses are taking to prepare themselves for the impact of extreme weather and climate change.

We would really appreciate it if you would take the time to complete our survey which can be found here (it should only take about 10 minutes to complete):


Please respond by 8th February.

Climate SouthWest is an independent partnership focused on helping the region to prepare and adapt to the changing climate. Once you have completed the survey you will be re-directed to the Climate Prepared website which is a useful tool for businesses to check what actions they need to take to prepare for a changing climate. Climate Prepared was developed, by Climate SouthWest, for tourism businesses but can be used by all types of businesses. The Climate SouthWest website can be found here and contains lots of useful information and case studies.
