As the gap between adaptation needs and available funding widens, the private sector is becoming increasingly important to adaptation finance and investment. Co-organized by the Adaptation Accelerator Hub (AAH), NDC Partnership and Center for Access to Climate Finance, the 2026 AAH Webinar Series examined how public-private collaboration can connect national adaptation priorities with private investment.
The third webinar on 21 October 2026 explored how governments can catalyze private investment through the right policies, regulations, climate data and financial instruments. Kanmani Chockalingam, Senior Fellow and Associate Partner, McKinsey Global Institute presented Advancing Adaptation: Mapping Costs and Enabling Financing.
