New study finds that emphasizing collective efficacy (people's ability to catalyze large-scale change) is very effective in catalyzing behavioural change. As you can see from my pinned post, I'm a big fan of simple messages that can mobilize public support for climate action!

According to a new report by those hippies at Morgan Stanley, in the past year 55% of North American companies have experienced a #ClimateChange related event that impacted their operations or business. That's a lot!
SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE STRATEGY HOW CLIMATE IS AFFECTING CORPORATES THE NEXT FIVE YEARS REGIONAL HEADLINES
SAMPLE DESIGN APPENDIX =
Over half of companies report that their business was impacted by climate-related events in the past year, increasing costs
57% of companies experienced an impact on their operations from climate-related events in the past year, with APAC companies citing a much higher incidence (73%). Extreme heat was the most common, named by 55% of those who saw any impact (65% in APAC). Extreme weather or storms rank second (53%) and are the most common in North America (57%).
Increased costs are the most common way that businesses are impacted (54%), followed by worker disruption (40%) and revenue losses (39%).
