COP23 Side Event: Enhancing resilience of, and crowding in, public and private investment

Organizer(s) United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Venue
UNDP Pavilion
Date

Attendees at COP23 in Bonn are invited to join the side event "Enhancing resilience of, and crowding in, public and private investment" hosted by UN Development Programme.

Country representatives, UNDP, and other development agencies and international partners will present their current initiatives to support the crowding in of public and private investment for climate adaptation. This will include information on current and future Global Environment Facility and Green Climate Fund projects designed with the support of UNDP that feature significant private sector engagement (PSE).

A panel discussion on PSE in adaptation will follow the presentation, touching more on UNDP’s work, and other international partners’ work and insights in this field. The discussion will also cover the increasing importance of private investment in meeting CCA challenges, and effective strategies for crowding-in private investment.

Some of the main questions which will be covered:

  1. What kinds of private sector actors do we need to engage (e.g. MSMEs; value-chain/market actors; FI/investors, etc.)? What roles can the private sector play in providing climate financing and more broadly supporting adaptation?
  2. What are the existing barriers to catalyzing private sector engagement and finance for climate c adaptation?
  3. What incentives are required to remove the barriers and catalyze greater private sector participation?
  4. Mechanisms and modalities to engage PS (for e.g. MSMEs) and deliver climate financing through private sector? What forms of public-private partnership for adaptation finance are most likely to succeed?
  5. Lessons learnt and best practices from the country perspective.
