Business case for the Bangladeshi private sector to invest in climate change and access international climate finance

This report by Acclimatise, IIED, and ICCCAD outlines the business case for the Bangladeshi private sector to invest in climate change and access international finance, specifically the Green Climate Fund (GCF). It identifies opportunities across the energy, agriculture, insurance, and banking/finance sectors, while noting barriers to scaling these initiatives.

• Climate change acts as a stressor to existing risks and business priorities, but it also provides opportunities for the private sector to develop new products and services, access new markets, achieve cost savings, protect supply chains, and gain reputational benefits. Specific areas of opportunity include water stress, waste management, and logistical responses to extreme weather events.
• Bangladeshi businesses are already utilizing climate-related opportunities, such as the development and marketing of solar home systems and climate resilient seeds.
• The Green Climate Fund (GCF) can help Bangladeshi businesses overcome barriers and harness opportunities through its Private Sector Facility (PSF), which is designed to mobilize and channel private expertise and capital at scale.
