The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Aldersgate Group invite you to discuss climate and development business opportunities, which will inform the establishment of a new CDKN facility to provide funding for business partnerships.

Businesses are critical to the challenge of reducing carbon emissions, adapting to the effects of a changing climate and creating green jobs and economic growth – together these can lead to climate compatible development. But breaking into and scaling up climate related products and services can be hampered by barriers such as a lack of knowledge and skills, imperfect competition or high transaction costs.

By working together, businesses can overcome such barriers - partnerships can bridge knowledge and skills gaps, open up new markets and reduce the costs of exchange.  Aid programmes such as CDKN's can support private sector opportunities but need to be grounded in an understanding of business needs and ambitions.
