This policy brief highlights the importance of engaging the private sector at the national and regional levels
to access climate finance and draws out some common challenges for more effective engagement.
Some options are provided to support the governments, private sector, civil society and development partners in any national climate actions. Case studies from the Asian, Caribbean and Pacific regions give examples of private
sector involvement in climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The paper also provides a perspective on the COVID-19 situation and how it impacts the private sector in its efforts to build resilience.
It is hoped that the policy brief will benefit key government agencies and businesses in enhancing their partnerships to support the private sector in accessing finance for climate actions.
