At the Forefront of Resilience: Small and Mighty

At Climate Resilience Consulting, resilience isn’t just our name. It’s our worldview.

We help clients prevent what can be avoided — and prepare for what can’t. That’s resilience in the era of climate change.

Today the US and countries around the world are at the forefront of the resilience era.

Small consulting firms have an outsize role in evolving resilience strategies to stay on the vanguard and pioneer effective, responsive, and aligned impact. It is what this moment demands. For Climate Resilience Consulting, resilience reflects our approach, our role in this field, and our impact.

Let me explain:

Resilience is how we work. We’re a small giant firm, focused, agile, and built for results. We’ve helped shape the definition of climate resilience, insisting on its distinct characteristics before it was widely recognized as a field. Our size allows us to move quickly and think expansively.

Resilience is how we lead. We’ve worked with over 100 partners on hundreds of client projects, developing strategies, building coalitions, and guiding complex initiatives from planning to execution. Our work has helped cities overhaul outdated climate action plans, tribal nations secure multi-million-dollar resilience grants, and communities across the US develop, design, and fund projects that reduce risk and improve lives and livelihoods. We get economically and ecologically regenerative projects funded, staffed and completed.

Resilience is how we think. Our relentless pursuit of innovation and value creation is rooted in entrepreneurial thinking. We take calculated risks, push for better solutions, and turn bold ideas into action in times of uncertainty. Our nimble, evidence-based mindset is built for the evolving challenges of extreme weather.

Resilience is how we share. We don’t gatekeep knowledge. When we collaborate with clients, we also build their capacity and expertise. And we make it easy to find project outputs. That’s why 88% of our clients return to us. We spread climate acumen, elevate state, local and community leadership, and establish sustainable systems.

What does resilience mean to you, and what does it look like where you live and work?
