Mobilizing climate investment: The role of international climate finance in creating scaled-up, low-carbon energy / Clifford Polycarp, Louise Brown &#38; Xing Fu-Bertaux. World Resources Institute, Feb. 2013, 68 p.http://pdf.wri.org/mobilizing_climate_investment.pdfLimiting global temperature rise to 2°C above pre-industrial levels will require billions of dollars in investments each year to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and shift to low-emissions development pathways. This report draws on the experiences of six developing countries to examine how public climate finance can help meet the significant investment needs of developing countries by creating attractive conditions for scaled-up investment in low-carbon energy. Building on lessons from the case studies, it provides a number of recommendations for international climate funds and institutions, in particular for the new Green Climate Fund.(© WRI)
