In this report, the author investigates the state of play of private investments that have flown into the country and delivered for sectoral climate-responsive development at the subnational level. Furthermore, the author assesses divergent drivers, actors, and institutions involved in climate finance using a decision matrix and builds a realistic evidence case of mitigation: adaptation in non-domestic private finance.
