 My name is Christina Rombita-Stilbriel, I'm from the Rockefeller Foundation. I just facilitated a panel on engaging the private sector in supporting local adaptation. One of the main messages that came out of this session is not whether we need to engage the private sector in supporting local adaptation, but really that that's a necessity and we need to think harder on how to do that. How to use the skills, expertise, access, influence of the private sector to support broader adaptation. And that there are multiple roles that the public sector, NGOs, civil society, donors and others can provide in terms of getting the private sector to work for adaptation, in particular to reach the poorest and most vulnerable. I think there was a really interesting question on how do we make sure that the poorest are reached through these private sector mechanisms and examples that were discussed by the panelists and some associated questions around, well, how are the rights of these communities protected? How do you ensure that they get good quality services and inputs and products in especially particularly vulnerable or marginalized groups? And if we're talking about very remote or not market-connected areas, how do we reach them? How do we extend the services, meet a insurance services or market-based value chains? How do you make sure they get to some of the poorest communities? And there were a lot of good answers in terms of how to do that. A lot of it is around supporting farmer organizations and user groups and empowering them to ensure that quality is maintained, give them voice, strengthen their capacity to negotiate and bargain with private sector entities. And then also recognize that farmers, input providers are also private sector actors and so we need to strengthen their abilities, their access to finance and the like. I think there's divergence in terms of how much faith different people have in the private sector to support adaptation. I think for some it's a marginal activity at best and really confined to CSR types of engagements or the private sector, you know, climate-proofing their own footprints and their own business operations but not really extending beyond that to communities. And then I think there's another camp that thinks that engaging private sector and market-based mechanisms for adaptation are an important route to scale and to scale up action and really argue that we need to be engaging more of these entities to support adaptation. I think they're both right and have an element of truth to them and so this is a tricky subject that needs more work to negotiate. One of the key advocates he asks is to really require private sector entities to dedicate funding to adaptation and climate-risk management and investing in resilience. Several countries have laws that require certain environmental investments or civil society investments above a certain profit level or certain percentage. So how can we scale that up and make sure that some of those funds are used to support climate adaptation.
