UNDRR Private Sector Climate Change Adaptation Project Database
Climate change poses a number of risks to vulnerable communities and businesses around the world, many opportunities are unfolding for private companies to implement actions towards reducing risks to their business operations, as well as investing in adaptation action in vulnerable regions in a sustainable and profitable manner, including:
-
New market opportunities and expansions;
-
Development of climate friendly goods and services;
-
Potential cost savings;
-
Risk reduction measures, including physical operations;
-
Climate proofing the supply chain;
-
Enhanced corporate social responsibility.
This online database of case studies has been developed under the Private Sector Initiative (PSI) of the Nairobi work programme, and features good practices and profitable climate change adaptation activities being undertaken by private companies (sometimes in partnership with NGOs or the public sector) from a wide range of regions and sectors.
Adaptation activities may relate either to ensuring the resilience of business operations, or the provision of technologies or services that assist in the adaptation in vulnerable communities
