| Summary: | This report reviews practical and
implementable interventions that have significantpotential
for the creation of an enabling environment for private
sector adaptation and the promotion of climate resilient
development paths. While there is a broad spectrum of
conditions favorable to climate change adaptation, five
priority areas are highlighted in this report: data and
information, institutional arrangements, policies, economic
incentives, and communication, technology and knowledge. In
each of these areas, specific interventions of promoting
private sector adaptation are analyzed, with an emphasis on
them expected economic, social and environmental returns.
Measures, indicators and examples are also provided to
inform private sector organizations and policy makers about
where conditions for adaptation investment are favorable,
and what specific improvements can enhance a country’s
environment for attracting private investment in climate
change adaptation. Acknowledging that further work needs to
be done to develop detailed guidance and indices for
objective evaluation of levels of the enabling environment
for adaptation, this study aims to produce initial
indicators for systematic support of climate resilient
development in the private sector context. |
