Ever felt lost in COP climate jargon? You're not alone. The annual UN climate conference has its own language of diplomatic speak, technical terms and acronyms that can make your head spin. But as world leaders gather in Brazil for #COP30, these conversations matter for all of us – especially if you're running a business and working out what climate action means for you. So we've translated the key COP30 terms into plain English.

Great insights from Jo Hand on the challenges SMEs face with net zero. The stats really highlight the gap – 39% don't know where to start, and nearly half lack trusted information sources. This is exactly why we built Giki Actions – to give SMEs relevant, actionable support that fits with their business goals, without needing months of time or expertise. There's brilliant work happening across the sector to close this action gap, and we're proud to be part of it.

𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐧 𝐔𝐊 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨. Key findings highlight continued need to help SMEs who are typically short on time and resource. As a result, relevant, actionable help is what's needed, which critically needs to support broader business goals. 📍39% of SMEs don't know where to start (vs 13% of large companies) 📍47% lack expertise as a moderate/significant barrier 📍46% cite lack of trusted information sources With a increased focus on action at international climate talks this year, there continues to be an action gap still to close in the real economy with just 11% of SMEs having set net zero targets so far. Good news is there is lots of great help and resource being created for SMEs, Including SME Climate Hub UK Business Climate Hub Giki The Carbon Literacy Project Heart of the City and lots more. Thanks to Natalie Bennett Andrew Griffiths, George Sandilands, Chris Taylor, Hannah Gilbert for sharing findings – really important barometer for where we are today, and where we need to go in the future. Great to attend, with SME Climate Hub Daniel Altman #NetZero #SustainabilityStrategy #SMEClimate #CarbonReduction #ClimateAction

Great event with businesses working with the fabulous Andy Hawkins of Business On Purpose UK What a pleasure to provide sustainability action plans for companies in just 60 minutes of their time, so they can crack on with the important part - TAKING ACTION! And save money for them too!
What if 28 micro and small businesses could leave a 60-minute workshop with 340 new climate actions added to their plans and actually implement them? That's exactly what happened when Business On Purpose UK partnered with Giki. And demand was so high we had to run two sessions back-to-back. The numbers speak for themselves: ✅ 1,852 relevant recommended actions generated ✅ 340 actions added to plans immediately ✅ 499 more shortlisted for review ✅ 68% identified as cost savers ✅ 46% implementable in under 6 months ✅ 100% plan to implement their actions ✅ 100% would recommend the experience One participant summed it up: "Easy and straightforward to build the plan!" As Andy Hawkins from Business on Purpose noted: "The environment is one of the places where most companies scratch their heads about what to do and so look to us for advice." This workshop changed that. In 60 minutes. Read how we did it: https://lnkd.in/ebJv8tRC
