Public-private partnerships (PPPs) bring together businesses, governments, NGOs, foundations, universities and other stakeholders who are instrumental to effectively implement and scale up climate change mitigation and adaptation actions and financing. PPPs addressing climate change, development, and business-related challenges benefit stakeholders in different ways and their roles within a partnership vary. In many cases businesses can contribute financial and technological resources, and other diverse development stakeholders can provide expertise to support sustainable natural resource management and increase resilience of communities to climate change.

USAID supports various climate and development focused PPPs such as the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 which aims to reduce tropical deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions while improving commodity supply chains, Global Forest Watch, an online forest monitoring and alert system, and the Climate Services for Resilient Development (CSRD) partnership which promotes demand-driven climate services for local decision making. In Vietnam, private sector engagement has strengthened the country’s Payment for Forest Environmental Services policy and in South Africa, PPPs have played a transformative role in closing financing gaps to achieving universal access to water and sanitation services.

Other topics highlighted below include: a webinar on a multi-scale approach to adaptation in Nepal, a case study on energy savings and emission reductions in Colombia, lessons learned from National Adaption Planning in Senegal, and developments in private sector investment for climate and energy initiatives.
