The intersection of public funding and private investment is crucial for achieving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swecobelgium.be\/en\/expertise\/climate-resilience-nature\/\">climate resilience<\/a>. Sweco talks about this specific field with Dr. Ir.

Garr\u00e9. You propose a combined effort of public funds and private investments to achieve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swecobelgium.be\/en\/expertise\/climate-resilience-nature\/\">climate resilience<\/a>, particularly in sectors like agriculture. How can public funds be optimized to complement private investments?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In agriculture, public funds can help in two aspects. Either in covering part of the risks of the private funding agencies, or in helping to pay result-oriented benefits. Covering the risks would mean that private investors help farmers, for example to invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swecobelgium.be\/en\/expertise\/climate-resilience-nature\/\">nature-based solutions<\/a> or environmental policies. And then measure the results of what they need to achieve. The government could still make sure that the investor doesn&#8217;t lose money if the results are not as expected.<\/p>\n<p>In the second approach, the government could say: \u201cWe have some goals in our policy. Private investors can invest. If they, together with the farmers reach that goal, we also pay the private investors some benefits, based on the results they achieved together.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block cb block--white\" >\n\t<div class=\"block__inner cb__inner cb__inner--one\">\n\t<div class=\"col--12 col--center col--wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col col--6 editor-content\">\n\t\t\t<blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<figure><i class=\"icon icon-quote\"><\/i><\/figure>\n<p>What is lacking to tackle problems of drought and flooding, is that we have very few policies that enable collective measures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;color: #000000\">Dr. Ir.
