Understanding opportunities, barriers and risks for private sector engagement in climate action for agrifood systems

SCALA private sector engagement guidance series

This guidance has been developed under the Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) (SCALA) programme, which supports decision makers to implement the agriculture priorities of their national climate plans. SCALA recognizes the critical role of the private sector in driving innovation and investment for transformative climate action in the agriculture and land-use sectors. This brief provides practical advice on how to translate climate priorities in the agrifood systems into actionable projects by identifying investment opportunities, understanding barriers, and selecting de-risking tools to attract private sector investment.
