Universities and colleges are increasingly seen as vital players in the growth and innovation for climate adaptation. Engagement with wider society and, in particular, business and industry is often central to these activities, which can become a new revenue stream. Also, the nature of relationships between business, industry and institutions is an good measure of social responsibility, to the extent which all parties are committed to benefitting wider society.
