A short reminder…
Stakeholders

the core issues attached to the initiative/topic on which they either have
a certain degree of (potential) influence or which (in)directly affects
them.
Stakeholder Mapping
Offers a clear overview of the involved actors of an initiative/topic and
their relationships to one other.
Is a key exercise and serves as a foundation for many other activities.

Step 2: Select key stakeholders
Select the 6 most relevant key private sector stakeholders in your country.
To choose them you could consider the following criteria:
• Impact: What is the (potential) impact that the stakeholder has on
mitigation or adaptation?
• Cooperation: How willing would the stakeholder be to cooperate with the
public sector?
• Incentive: What is the likelihood that the stakeholder will respond to
financial or other incentives (e.g. tax, regulatory easing)?

Step 4: Present your findings to the plenary
Present your findings by answering the following questions:
• What kind of contribution can be expected by the private stakeholder?
Example: concessional loans by a bank
• What is the general interest of the stakeholder?
Example: an energy supplier is interested in selling energy to users
• What is the particular interest of the stakeholder regarding
mitigation/adaptation?
Example: a construction company might be interested in mitigation as heavy
rains caused by high emissions pose a barrier to their construction works.
• Are there measures that the public sector could introduce to secure the
contributions by the stakeholder?
Examples: a platform for exchange; regulatory easing
