Connected problems need connected solutions
Climate risks, systemic disruptions, and investment decisions no longer exist in isolation. Modern challenges intersect, reinforce one another, and require coordinated, portfolio-level solutions.
The Impact Pathway Toolkit is designed to help companies, cities and organisations:
Build situational awareness through structured risk scenarios
Identify and define integrated climate and innovation actions
Assess interdependencies between actions
Analyse portfolios and visualise combined impacts
Rather than evaluating actions in isolation, the Impact Pathway approach reveals how decisions influence one another — helping organisations select actions that deliver the greatest overall benefit.
Typical applications include:
Corporate or city climate roadmaps
Risk management and preparedness plans
Investment and innovation portfolios
Organisational strategy processes
Prospective impact assessments
The Toolkit is a facilitator-oriented prototype built from open-source components. It provides a practical method for analysing combined effects between actions and supports portfolio-level decision-making.
The Four Phases of the Impact Pathway
Situational awareness through future scenarios
Identification and definition of integrated actions
Assessment of utility and interdependencies
Portfolio analysis and visualisation of results
By the end of the programme, participants will:
Understand when and where the Impact Pathway method creates added value
Use the Toolkit prototype independently
Prepare and structure evaluation forms
Extract and analyse results
Conduct portfolio calculations
Visualise findings clearly
Facilitate Impact Pathway workshops for companies, cities and organisations
This is a hands-on facilitator training — not just theory.
Participants completing all sessions receive an official Impact Pathway Facilitator Certificate.
Participants attend all three training modules and related clinics. All times are EET.
