ABOUT
Climate change has adversely affected all the sectors, and forecasts are no different. To mitigate the impact of climate change and align with the Paris Agreement, governments need to act drastically to shift to a low carbon economy. A developing country like India needs heavy investment across the sectors to grow sustainably. Companies and the private sector have been the vehicles of creating economic value in society. The private sector can contribute financial resources for adaptation through investments, financial risk management, commercial capital, and charitable resource provision through private foundations. Such tools can help governments achieve the best returns from risk-mitigation projects, given the inevitable constraints on time and resources.
The Uttar Pradesh Government recognises the immense potential of the private sector in the development of economic infrastructure. The increased access to private funds, improved management and higher efficiency in infrastructure projects through private sector participation can usher in the policy’s vision of creating a resilient infrastructure yielding long term benefits.
Hence, the State Government is committed to supporting private-sector infrastructure investment by creating the right business environment through more consistent policies. The Government will also welcome and explore new and innovative means of collaboration with the private sector, including various models of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP).
