Private Sector
Engagement
• Weak, inappropriate or missing

• Incentives that undermine the

• The time it takes for governments to

• No clear policy signal
4. Key Actions
1. Getting the appropriate institutional
arrangements at the outset of the

2. Ensure that the legal and regulatory
framework within the country is
conducive to businesses
engaging in adaptation measures.

● Consider the diversity of actors in the
group, when considering the
following questions:
7. Questions
Discuss these questions, recording
notes on your flip-charts:
1. What kind of institutional arrangements
– within the NAP process – would most
be effective to make our respective
voices and priorities heard?
2. What examples are there of these from
your respective countries? What new
ideas do you have?
