Webinar Focus: Engaging the private sector (Bilingual)

Global Affairs Canada would request that interventions by participants be limited to 2 minute each to enable maximum participation. Please use the chat box for additional comments (inputs will be saved). We would suggest that inputs be framed by the following guiding questions.

GUIDING QUESTIONS

1. What opportunities exist to further engage the private sector, including through partnerships with (Canadian, international, and/or developing country) non-governmental organizations, Indigenous groups, and academia, in climate action efforts in ODA-eligible countries? 
2. What types of opportunities would be well suited to the use of blended finance (e.g. contributions, including repayable, as well as concessional loans)?
3. To pursue and develop these opportunities, what kind of supports (e.g. tools, structures, facilitation, etc.) might be required from a potential Climate Partnership initiative funded by the Government of Canada ?

CROSSCUTTING QUESTIONS

• What more can the Government of Canada do to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls through climate action?
• What more can the Government of Canada do to better recognize, respect and safeguard Indigenous Peoples’ rights, knowledge systems, and legal orders through climate action?
