    Climate change has become a major supply chain issue among cities. As a supply chain,it is recognized that achieving strides requires a network of partners and effort. Recent catastrophic events like floods among some of the world’s top cities in Belgium, China and Germany have contributed to growing need for cities to mainstream climate resilient actions in their supply chains. The idea of adopting a supply philosophy is echoed by that assert that supply chains is underpinned by strategic relationships that form to improve organizational socio- economic objectives through enhancing capabilities with synergies that reside in partnerships. In addition, recent effort by COP 26 has buoyed the emphasis for improving neighborliness of climate and humankind. Since cities anchor national prosperity and act as and centre for policy making and actions for the country, they act as an important administrative structure for championing climate agenda. Although the literature on adaptation to climate change is rapidly expanding, little is known about how the adoption of new public management tool, public private partnerships (PPPs) contribute to climate sustainability, yet the adoption of PPPs is on the rise in traditional and emerging smart cities. Based on a review of literature, this study provides insights on how PPPs can enable city administrations to play a key role for supporting climate sustainable agenda of nations especially in Sub Saharan Africa that is considered a victim of climate change and yet this part of the world is deemed to have been insignificantly responsible for the climate change by largely affected negative effects of today’s climate change.
