How can Malaysia make it easier for the private sector to invest in climate adaptation?The policy paper, “Incentivising Private Sector Investment in Climate Adaptation in Malaysia” is a first-of-its-kind publication under the Climate Finance Summit, offering a forward-looking perspective on scaling up adaptation finance to strengthen national climate resilience.Developed through an expert-informed and youth-led process, it outlines practical strategies for the government to incentivise private sector participation as part of the forthcoming National Adaptation Plan, with the aim to accelerate collective action and close Malaysia’s adaptation financing gap.The Four C Recommendations – Clarity, Capacity, Coordination and Enabling Conditions – may guide future government action and help integrate adaptation financing more systematically into national development planning to build Malaysia’s long-term climate resilience.Read the full Climate Finance Summit 2025 Policy Paper here.
