Identifying barriers: how to enable the expansion of climate adaptation smes into rural areas in developing countries
| Resumo: | This study maps the barriers that SMEs offering climate adaptation solutions face when attempting to reach rural areas, where residents are particularly exposed to the adverse impacts of climate change. Moreover, it identifies strategies that SMEs have implemented to overcome such obstacles and gathers recommendations for the public sector to support rural expansion. This analysis utilizes qualitative data from eight interviews with SMEs founders from various developing countries who have previously engaged with UNIDO. The findings will inform future baseline studies for UNIDO’s related projects, laying the groundwork for more effective interventions in this area. |
