Streamlining Public Sector Funding with Climate Ready America

After two years of building, learning, and refining how we work, we're ready to share what Susbridge has become. We're an independent consulting practice working at the information layer, where research, data, and communication must become decisions that teams can act on. We focus on sustainability, development, and impact-driven work across Africa and global contexts. Our new website reflects this clearly: ✓ What we do (advisory, research, data, communications) ✓ How we stay grounded (Susinsight, Susdata, Knowledge Lab) ✓ What we've worked on (case studies, published research) Browse our projects. Read our latest thinking. And if the challenges we're tackling sound familiar, let's talk. Visit https://susbridge.xyz

Inside this post, we break down the key elements behind a successful corporate rescue — including the importance of early action, a robust rescue plan, the right practitioner, and sustainable financing. Take a moment to see how these principles shape effective recovery strategies.

It’s telling when a conversation about development doesn’t start with capital flows or construction costs—but with uncertainty itself. At Marsh McLennan Agency’s Unlocking Tomorrow: Futurecast Forum, our Development Climate panel kept circling the same three pressure points: • capital discipline reshaping what actually gets built • Municipalities are increasingly front-loading the entitlement process, requiring granular detail on infrastructure capacity, material selection, and performance mandates as a prerequisite for rezoning • the operational risks that now matter as much as the financial ones Cody Kuhne of TCC Phoenix joined Jordan Gaither, Carl Starry, and Jim Bulsiewicz to unpack how these forces are reshaping decisions at the earliest stage of the development cycle—echoing broader themes raised by keynote speaker Jay Parsons. #TCC #TrammellCrowCompany #Development #Phoenix

This latest video shared powerful insights into what truly drives business investment in dynamic regions. It highlights a winning formula for attracting capital: speed meets affordability. The core advantages showcased are compelling: * Single-window clearance mandates action within 21 days. * Key resources like land, power, and water are abundant and cost-competitive. * Strategic infrastructure investment removes unnecessary operational friction. This demonstrates a clear blueprint where efficiency and infrastructure directly translate into a reduced *cost* of business, securing their top spot in key rankings.

Four Important Steps for Nonprofits to take with the 2026 climate & beyond? Based on 2026 industry projections, nonprofits facing economic uncertainty and reduced government funding must adopt a proactive, data-driven, and donor-centric approach to build financial resilience. The key is shifting from a "transactional" fundraising model to a "relationship-driven" one, leveraging new tax laws and technology. 1. Diversify Revenue and Embrace New Tax Realities 2. Strengthen Internal Financial Resilience 3. Modernize Technology and Operations 4. Re-center on Mission and Impact

The most complex challenges facing places today - from economic inactivity to climate resilience – share one defining characteristic: no single organisation owns either the problem or the solution. As our report, #PlacesOnAMission shows, missions are way of tackling these challenges by working systemically. By directing energy towards galvanising people and organisations beyond local government to act, missions grow a system capable of responding to current and future challenges. Making this shift real requires aligning partners around shared priorities, building the trust and relational infrastructure that sustained collaboration requires, and creating accountability structures that stretch across institutional boundaries. Missions don't automatically produce systems change. But they create the shared language, the collective focus, and the political permission that makes it possible. This report was written by Isadora Spillman-Schappell and Grace Pollard, and developed by Inner Circle Consulting and New Local.
