ASI Partnership Brings Climate Resilience Education to New Brunswick Businesses

The Academy for Sustainable Innovation (ASI) is excited to announce new climate resilience programming offered in partnership with three New Brunswick Chambers of Commerce.

Working in collaboration with the University of New Brunswick’s Pond-Deshpande Centre Green Horizons Initiative, the Chambers of Commerce for Fredericton, Greater Moncton, and the Saint John Region are all ready to offer the Climate Resilience for SMEs program to local businesses.

This step demonstrates the Chambers’ strong leadership and commitment to supporting their businesses with improved resilience, competitiveness, and continuity.

The program helps small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) understand the risks that climate change poses to their operations, employees, and bottom line.

Participants will learn how to protect their businesses from climate impacts, turn sustainability into a competitive advantage, and take action to strengthen long-term success.

"The Greening Your Business program represents a timely and valuable opportunity for our members. We see this program as a strong value-add for our members. It opens doors to new resources, insights, and opportunities that can support business growth and innovation. By collaborating with ASI, we’re not only enhancing the services we provide, but also empowering our members to be more competitive, connected, and future-ready."

"The Future-Proof Your Business Course represents a meaningful opportunity for our members to enhance their understanding of sustainability and climate action within their organizations. By participating in this program, our members gain practical knowledge and tools to prepare themselves for extreme weather and the new realities of climate change, which strengthens their businesses and supports the broader community. We see this initiative as an important addition to the resources we offer to help members grow, innovate, and thrive. We look forward to the launch of the course!"

"Future Proofing Your Business provides timely and local information to our members that will help them address one of the great challenges of our time. By helping them understand that meaningful steps to mitigate the effects of climate change are within their grasp, it starts them on a path to ensure future sustainability and improve their operations in often easy and affordable ways."

Chamber members will have year-round access to a custom online learning course, along with an in-person workshop co-hosted with each Chamber in March 2026. New Brunswick-based businesses are encouraged to visit their local Chamber’s website to learn more and register.

The initiative is part of ASI’s national Climate Resilience for SMEs program, supported by Definity Financial Corporation. ASI works directly with Chambers of Commerce, Business Improvement Associations, and Boards of Trade to develop customized online learning courses and deliver in-person workshops that they can offer as value-added services to their members.

The goal is to help local business owners better understand the climate-related risks and opportunities that could affect their operations in the years ahead.

At this time, ASI’s Climate Resilience for SMEs program is full. ASI is actively seeking funders, partners, or donors to be able to offer the program to future partners at subsidized rates.

If you are interested in funding the program or would like to be added to the waitlist for when the program available again please contact:
