What does mobilizing private capital look like in practice?⁣
⁣
In Thailand, it looks like Dextra: a manufacturer employing more than 1,000 people and supplying infrastructure projects across 55 countries. With backing from Lakeshore Capital, a long-term IFC partner, Dextra has added more than 200 jobs while expanding the specialized skills and technologies behind safer, more resilient infrastructure.⁣

Adaptation is not only a development imperative. It is a growing economic opportunity.
 Great discussion at the #COP31 Business Forum New York Dialogue, co-hosted with @bloomberg, on how we can mobilize more private capital for resilience.
 From cooling technologies and resilient infrastructure to insurance and risk-management solutions, businesses are developing new ways to help economies manage climate risk while creating new markets and opportunities for growth.
 At @ifc_org, our job is to help turn those opportunities into investable markets at scale. #UNGA81 taken in New York City by @ifc_org
