This document discusses the role of the private sector in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. It outlines potential actions the private sector can take within their own firms, with surrounding communities, and with the global community. Some of these actions include supporting global disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation efforts, improving risk-informed business strategies, raising awareness, and developing new products and services related to disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. However, the document also notes there are some barriers to private sector involvement, such as a lack of reliable climate risk information, limited awareness from clients, competition concerns, and uncertainty surrounding new climate-related products and services.
