Accelerating Innovation and Private Investment in Climate Adaptation
Securing financing for climate adaptation projects is key for tackling the effects of climate change. This session at the Seventh GEF Assembly will explore how to accelerate innovation and private investment in climate change adaptation in developing countries.
This session will bring together key stakeholders in climate adaptation that include private companies, investors, civil society, entrepreneurs and members of the GEF partnership to discuss how to accelerate innovation and private investment in climate change adaptation in developing countries. This event will also showcase some projects funded under the GEF Challenge Program for Adaptation Innovation. Discussions will particularly focus on three themes identified as key: SMEs incubation and acceleration; investment funds; and metrics and standards for climate adaptation risk management and opportunity assessment.
Benjamin Simmons, Director of Infrastructure at IISD, will be a panelist at the event, presenting the work of the Nature-Based Infrastructure Global Resource Centre.
