BizforClimate is a business-led movement promoting action to address climate change and solutions that scale to the economy at-large.

Sustainability can sometimes feel invisible while you’re in the middle of it.

Relationships aren't steadfast from a single sentence, just like most meaningful change doesn’t happen in a single moment.

That’s why community matters. Sometimes we need to pause long enough to recognize how far the work has already come and how many people are helping move it forward together.

Summer 2026 is almost here, and it's going to be a big one.

Hot days. High fuel prices. Smoky skies. Big shifts in how Canada powers itself. And a global climate conversation that's getting harder to ignore.

So we put together our Top 5 Climate & Business Predictions for Summer 2026: what we're watching, why it matters, and what it means for Manitoba business owners trying to plan through it.

What's on your radar for the season? Drop it in the comments. 👇

Sustainability and profit don't always feel like they're pulling in the same direction.

That's exactly why BizforClimate exists: a network of business owners working through the hard stuff together, instead of figuring it out alone.

What membership actually looks like:
→ Workshops and webinars on climate strategy and real business impacts
→ Peer roundtables with leaders facing the same challenges
→ Networking events and member-to-member introductions
→ Practical tools and resources for planning and reporting
→ A collective voice with policymakers shaping the road ahead

Membership is scaled to company size, so it's genuinely within reach for SMEs, starting at $28/month for teams under 16.

If you've been looking for the room where these conversations are happening, this is it.

Survey: U.S. and Canadian Business Confidence in Climate Action Remains Strong

Nine-in-ten business leaders in the U.S. and Canada who have or are developing climate strategies are confident in their actions to mitigate climate-related risks, as they focus on improving their resilience and competitiveness, according to the fourth edition of a survey commissioned by the BMO Climate Institute.

Nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents say they have or are developing plans to address climate-related risks and opportunities, up from 69% in 2025, the BMO Climate Institute Business Leaders Survey showed.

Pressures from competitors and customers, as well as the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), could spur further climate action. A significant majority of organizations in 2026 also see AI as helpful for developing climate plans, understanding risk exposure, and preparing for extreme weather events. While barriers such as cost and talent shortages are currently preventing widespread adoption, 62% of survey respondents expect their companies’ investment in AI to grow in a year.

What does a climate-friendly, affordable, thriving Winnipeg look like to you?

That's the question behind the People's Climate Mandate survey and it takes less than 5 minutes to answer.

On October 28, Winnipeggers vote for our next mayor and council. The decisions they make on transit, energy, buildings, and land use will shape our operating environment for years. This survey is one of the clearest ways to put the business community's vision on their desks before the campaign even starts.

Take the survey (under 5 min): https://survey.alchemer-ca.com/s3/50571073/CAMPAIGN-2026
Open until Aug 31 — sooner is better
Interim results shared at the June 11 town hall, 6:30 PM at The Forks

What started as conversations between business leaders who believed there had to be a better way has grown into a network of organizations ready to lead, collaborate, and act.

BizforClimate exists because businesses are uniquely positioned to move ideas into action. To innovate. To influence. To help shape a stronger future for Manitoba and beyond.

Something is happening on June 2nd.

If this is the first you're hearing about it, you're not in the room where it's being built.

Our members already know. They've been part of the conversation, the kind that happens when business owners stop pretending sustainability and profit are easy to balance, and start working through it together.

Here's the part most people don't realize: membership is sized to your business. For SMEs under 16 employees, that's $28/month. Manitoba businesses, this was built with you in mind.

If you're curious and want to know what's going on, join as a member for your personal invite.
