A Business Case for Building Climate Resilience

“The business case for adaptation is improving.”  These were the promising words from Daniel Dowling of PriceWaterhouseCoopers, shared during a breakout session at a recent conference called Climate Finance and Private Sector: Investing in New Opportunities.  The conference was part of a week-long climate finance event held in conjunction with the opening of Green Climate Fund secretariat in Songdo, South-Korea.

The breakout session focused on three main questions:

• How can we scale up private sector involvement in building climate resilience?
• What is holding the private sector back in investing more in building resilience? and
• Can these barriers be overcome?
