Market Series: The Climate Smart Academy for Small Businesses
Climate change pose significant challenges to all industries and small businesses will not be the exception to this. The cost-benefit of a proactive approach is evident and tangible, however, it is difficult for a small business to know where to begin and even land concepts such as “greener”, “more efficient”, “adapting” or “become more climate resilient” into their business structure.
MCGB has partnered with Capital Bank, PEPCO, Latino Economic Development Center, Bethesda Green and One Montgomery Green, for this market series event with the vision of supporting small businesses in this journey by bringing valuable information on:
- Existing local programs that support small businesses
- Understanding what a climate smart business is and what the paths are to become one
- Address benefits and barriers on this journey
Moderator: Stephen Morel, CEO at Montgomery County Green Bank
