Abstract: Abstract Public financial resources alone will not be adequate to limit greenhouse gas emissions to safe levels and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. Recognising this financial gap, public actors, such as governments, development finance institutions, and aid agencies, are considering how best to harness and redirect private sector investment towards activities that address climate change. This chapter profiles trends and innovative public interventions used or considered to mobilise private sector investment, including policy and technical support, supplying incremental finance, de-risking investments, and fostering public–private partnerships. It draws on a mix of primary research and analysis, case studies, and consultations to identify innovative means that the public and private sectors can collectively pursue to foster climate-friendly markets.
