Community Spotlights: Public-Private Partnerships & Climate Change

By Joyce-Lynn Njinga, Katherine Cunningham

This month Climatelinks focused on climate change-related public-private partnerships (PPPs). We highlighted approaches and experiences of PPPs providing solutions for improved climate information and services for decision-making, reduced deforestation and better forest monitoring, improved access to water and sanitation services, and more.  

We also asked Climatelinks community members to share their PPP-related research, tools, blogs, knowledge portals and other resources, which you can find below!

These resources include a PPP screening tool, analyses on the private sector roles in adaptation and resilience infrastructure, guidance for stronger partnership development, a framework for effective PPPs for climate finance, case studies of private sector engagement in forest management and clean energy development, as well as a call for PPP-focused knowledge products.

If you have related resources to share, please do so in the comment box below this blog! Also, check out the USAID-supported climate change and conflict related resources in the Climatelinks library and related blogs.

To receive our next Community Spotlights call to share your organization's resources, sign up here. We look forward to featuring your suggested knowledge products with the Climatelinks community via our blog, newsletter and social media!
