Research Article Agriculture

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of private sector financing in accelerating the deployment of climateresilient urban infrastructure in megacities. Public funds are insufficient to address the vast and growing financial gap for climate adaptation, making private capital essential. The research identifies three primary barriers to private investment: the lack of "bankable" projects, a high-risk perception due to climate uncertainty, and inadequate policy and institutional frameworks. Through a qualitative, multiple case study analysis of London, Singapore, and Jakarta, the study demonstrates that these barriers can be mitigated. The findings highlight the effectiveness of innovative financial mechanisms, such as blended finance and green bonds, and well-structured public-private partnerships (PPPs) in mobilizing private capital. The research concludes that the successful integration of private finance relies on a proactive public sector that creates a stable and transparent enabling environment. It provides specific recommendations for policymakers to de-risk projects, streamline regulations, and strategically utilize public funds to attract the    necessary private investment for building resilient urban futures.
