| Summary: | The challenges posed by climate change -
the impact of which extends from small remote island
villages to the entire planet - demand collective action by
governments, industries, and societies at large. The private
sector, equipped with significant financial resources and a
commitment to innovation, has a leading role to play in the
urgent global effort to reduce the negative effects of
climate change and create a thriving zero-carbon economy of
the future. Private sector engagement in climate action can
take many forms, from the development of new technologies
and financial instruments to participation in policy
development. When governments establish inclusive dialogues
with representatives of the private sector as well as
international organizations, civil society, and communities,
they can produce more integrated and comprehensive
strategies for addressing this crisis. To support countries
as they implement the Paris Agreement, a group of public and
private sector partners has come together to develop six
fundamental principles to support the establishment and
enhancement of climate dialogue at all levels - global,
regional, national, and local. These principles are focused
on bringing the public and private sectors together as a
single, well-structured platform from which to identify
challenges and implement solutions for climate change
issues. Guidelines for the six dialogue for climate action
(D4CA) principles are: principle 1, urgency; principle 2,
inclusion; principle 3, awareness; principle 4, efficiency;
principle 5, transparency; and principle 6, accountability. |
