Financing adaptation and resilience: The role of public-private finance and blended capital

Plenary
Back to agenda

As climate risks become increasingly linked to business performance, investing in resilience is no longer an option. Despite growing recognition of the need for adaptation, financing the transition remains one of the greatest barriers to implementation. Governments, financial institutions, investors and the private sector all have a critical role to play in unlocking the capital needed to accelerate and scale resilience.

In this session, our expert panel will explore how innovative financing models and partnerships can help bridge the adaptation funding gap. We’ll discuss:

– The role of investors, insurers and financial institutions in strengthening climate resilience
– How blended finance can de-risk investment and accelerate private sector action
– How businesses can build investable adaptation strategies that demonstrate long-term value
– Examples of public-private partnerships that are already delivering successful outcomes
