Room Solar, Ministry of the Environment

The role of the private sector cannot be an afterthought when considering the scale up of emission reduction activities in developing countries, including REDD+. This side event will discuss the importance of providing clear routes to private sector investment in next generation flexible mechanisms. The presenters will put forward concrete design proposals that focus on drawing in critical private sector finance while also ensuring a more holistic approach to the diffusion of best practice technology and the protection of forests.
