Business Model Canvas for Climate Services - Business innovation for transformative and sustainable societies

The following table presents the results of a series of interviews conducted in the context of Deliverable D3.4 – Business innovation for transformative and sustainable societies: recommendations and guidance. As the market for climate services (CS) is broad and diverse, the business models used and applied reflect a wide range of approaches and products. In the deliverable, the Business Model Canvas (BMC) was employed to assess different types of climate services offered by both private and public providers, with particular emphasis on innovation and aspects contributing to transformational adaptation. The BMC was chosen as it is a useful strategic management tool that helps visualize, design, and analyze the key components of a business model—such as value proposition, customers, infrastructure, and revenue streams—thereby facilitating comparisons and highlighting opportunities for innovation. More than 40 interviews with climate service providers were carried out as semi-structured business discussions by different task members. A strong emphasis was placed on private-sector providers (approximately two-thirds of the interviews), focusing on business approaches to climate services that must maintain a positive balance between revenue and costs. The results of these interviews are summarised in this table.
