After Paris - Can the private sector deliver climate compatible development?

The document discusses the role of the private sector in achieving climate compatible development following the Paris Agreement. It notes that while new technologies and financial instruments are emerging, public policy is required to address market failures, counter opposing lobbies, and manage the social winners and losers resulting from industrial disruption.

• The transition to tackle climate change necessitates a global industrial revolution, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the private sector, which is currently responding through an increase in new technologies, investments, financial instruments, and industry initiatives supported by governments.
