Skills requirements
— Wide range of skills required, not necessarily adaptation specific
— Specialist and professional
— Manufacturing and engineering
— Business management (particularly for SMEs)
— Under-supply of young people entering high value engineering
and skilled trades
— Apprenticeships
— “Image problem” in relation to climate change sectors
— Encourage high level candidates to enter the sector
— School leavers and graduates
— Role of the universities
— Largest student population in Europe
— Range of relevant courses offered
Conclusions
— Priority sectors at risk if a failure to adapt
— BUT opportunities through innovation and adaptation
— Strength in construction retrofit, doors and windows should be
maximised through access to opportunities presented by GM’s large
scale commercial and domestic retrofit programme
— Develop specific sector strategies for particularly vulnerable sectors
— Draw on the universities reputation for excellence to turn Manchester’s
reputation for entrepreneurship to economic advantage
— Increase efforts to attract high-calibre candidates to the climate change

Principles of “invest-ability”
Certainty, risk and familiarity
Investors and financiers seek to understand the level and nature of risk in order to decide:
- whether to provide finance;
Risk
- at what price; and
Risks to be mitigated include:
- on what terms.
• Policy
Costs
Certainty
Risk Mitigation
• Technology
Certainty will be sought over:
• Supply
• Assets
• Demand
• Income
Insurance
• Counterparty
• Savings (PAYS)
• Climate hazards
• “Green” impact
• Measurement
Familiarity

Climate change finance
Prevention vs mitigation
Capturing the value of climate change mitigation is more difficult than climate change
prevention as this tends to be thought of in terms of energy cost.

Challenges for the future
• How can the level of familiarity with climate change finance be broadened
among the wider financial community?
• Can the true value of works mitigating the effects of climate change
be captured financially?
• What role should the insurance sector play?
• Can community finance initiatives be used more widely?
• What should be the role of national and local government?

Adapting the city
GM Investment
Framework
GM Context
• Cities as engines of growth
• Combined Authority (CA) and LEP provide the platform
for growth and reform
• Place - based approach to aligned priorities, funding
and delivery
• Move away from a grant culture to a self sustaining
investment approach
• Secure the benefits from local investment
GM Investment Framework
• MIER provides the evidence base to understand what we
need to do
• Reduced access to public resources and difficult market
conditions (especially in terms of market finance failure)
• A new approach to investment is required to:
- make the most of our evidence base and opportunities;
and
- minimise the impact of the funding and market
challenges we face
Investment Framework Work Streams
Project
Pipeline
•
•
•
Develop single AGMA pipeline
Indicative prioritisation
Short term and medium to longer term pipeline
Investment
Strategy
•
•
•
Develop an approach to coordinating private and public sector funding
Enabling Funds
Investment Advisor
Capacity
•
Recruiting a central GM Core Team to strengthen AGMA’s delivery
capacity and capability
Developing skills and capacity in districts
•
Project Pipeline Development
• Around 80 projects now identified by Local Authorities
and the Manchester Family
• Includes economic development, housing, low carbon,
transport, broadband, business growth
• Many have multiple barriers to bringing them to market
• Local capacity and expertise varies to support pipeline
development
• Considerable pressure to commit Enabling Funds asap
Investment Strategy – Initial Priorities
Enabling
Funds
• Identify potential sources of enabling funds
• Match suitable enabling funds to projects
• Move quickly towards a single Feeder Fund to de-risk / enable projects
Private Sector
Funding
• Investment Advisor in place
• Develop panel of funders to work with AGMA
• Move towards a future AGMA Investment Fund
Governance
• Gateway process for projects
• Independent Advisory Panel to oversee investment approach
• Recommendations to CA and LEP
GM Enabling Funds
Those where we must commit resources quickly
(start on site - next financial year):
• Evergreen JESSICA Fund
• Regional Growth Fund – Rounds 1, 2 and (hopefully!) 3
• Growing Places Fund
• European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
Resources into fund in due course…
• Tax revenues from EZ
• Recycled Funds returned to the pot
GM Investment Advisor
•
Investment Advisor recently appointed
•
Maximise impact of available public sector funding
•
Promote projects capable of attracting private sector funding (both equity
and debt)
•
Development of a panel of potential funders
•
Development of a specific Feeder Fund, to access private sector funding
•
Proposition that would enable AGMA to seek ‘blind’ investment from a range
of potential public and private sector investors

The financial risks and opportunities of climate change for GM/cities
Looking forward to identifying specific opportunities for GM to fund
Resilience projects and support skills/products/services export prospects.
A view of the possible solution(s).
Where is the value in those solutions?
How can that value be capitalised?
How do we ensure climate-proofing of 'mainstream' investments (e.g. Evergreen,
Deal for Cities settlement etc) to de-risk returns in a changing climate?
What tools are available?
