Description :

Financing climate adaptation and resilience has long been viewed as a public sector responsibility, given the public good nature of such investments. Yet this perception is increasingly being challenged, as businesses recognise that addressing adaptation risks is fundamental to securing their own long-term resilience. The primary barrier to greater private sector participation remains the misalignment between risk and return. This panel explores how ecosystem players across the public, private, and philanthropic spheres can collaborate to rebalance this equation; improving the risk-return profile of adaptation and resilience projects and unlocking meaningful private capital mobilisation.
