Building Climate-Positive Organizations
Building Climate-Positive Organizations:
Your guide to accelerating climate strategy
The climate crisis will be perhaps the most critical force of the next several decades — and the decisions we make in the 2020s will be essential to our ability to shape our long-term future. The climate crisis demands that we act with urgency in a time of unprecedented challenge and complexity, and it means we must think in a longer-term timeframe than we usually do.
Released exclusively to IFTF Vantage partners in May 2021, our most recent annual Map of the Decade is designed to help organizations identify opportunities for transformation on which they can can act today to become climate-positive. It guides you systematically through the climate crisis and where it fits into your organization’s strategic planning. It will also help you think through what you need to do to build a climate-positive organization for the long term.
The full set of research consists of the following deliverables and experiences for IFTF Vantage partners:
- An introductory report of this year’s research and the five principles of climate-positive organizations
- A deep-dive report documenting four opportunities for transformation across technology, economics, culture, and governance.
- A replicable toolkit and facilitation process for identifying your organization’s future visions for becoming climate-positive, which includes six scenarios of how climate-positive organizations will position and differentiate themselves in the coming decade.
The challenges of the climate crisis are daunting, but well-prepared organizations will find that climate change offers opportunities to become more sustainable, resilient, and profitable than ever before.
Where Are We Trying to Go? Possibilities for 2050
In February 2021, IFTF Vantage hosted a virtual public convening of climate experts as part of our annual research process, and we're excited to share this keynote session with IFTF Distinguished Fellow Jamais Cascio exploring the kinds of revolutionary changes needed over the next thirty years to create a truly climate-positive future:
PLEASE NOTE: Portions of IFTF Vantage's annual Map of the Decade research are made public one year after sharing it with our partners. You can anticipate Building Climate-Positive Organizations will be released to the public in Summer 2022.
