Business opportunities in climate change adaptation: Business models, implementation tools, and access to finance
Context
The science is clear: Climate action across the world is more urgent than ever. But even the best efforts to minimize human activities that accelerate global warming are now too little too late to avert the already apparent and expected impacts of a changing climate. The urgent need to adapt to the impacts of climate change is therefore also clear. This comes with opportunities for innovation and with business opportunities to meet a growing demand for products and services that build resilience and enable adaptation to the impacts of climate change. As literacy on climate risks improves, and markets for adaptation solutions develop, investor interest is also increasing.
About the Private Adaptation Investment Bootcamp (PrivABoo)
The program aims to support growth-stage to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer climate adaptation-relevant technologies, products or services (“Adaptation SMEs”) to their clients and to connect them with impact investors, who want to build a portfolio in climate change adaptation. PrivABoo is designed as a flexible and dynamic learning cycle that responds to the participants’ individual needs , aiming to increase their capacity to recognize, finance and scale business opportunities in the field of climate change adaptation.
