Developing countries will experience some of the worst impacts of climate change and given the constraints on the availability of public sector resources, it is generally accepted that significant private sector financing will be required to play a role in addressing many of the challenges of adaptation.
CTI PFAN’s Programme for Financing Climate Change Projects seeks to identify promising projects which have the capability of raising private sector financing while building resilience to climate change. Selected projects will be offered free professional advice on project development and structuring and will be connected with investment through CTI PFAN’s global investment networks.
