Increasing concerns over the effects of climate change have
heightened the importance of accelerating investments in green
growth. The International Energy Agency, for example, estimates
that to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent by 2050,
global investments in the energy sector alone will need to total
US$750 billion a year by 2030 and over US$1.6 trillion a year from
2030-2050. Despite global efforts to mobilize required capital
flows, the investments still fall far short. Bloomberg New Energy
Finance argues that by 2020 investments will be US$150 billion
short from the levels required simply to stabilize CO2 emissions.
For the East Asia and Pacific region alone, the World Bank study
Winds of Change suggests that additional investments of US$80
billion a year over the next two decades are required. Multiple
factors affect green investments, often rendering them financially
not attractive. Private investment flows, therefore, depend on
public sectors interventions and support. As in many countries
public sector resources are scarce and spread across many competing
commitments, they need to be used judiciously and strategically to
leverage sufficient private flows. Many governments, however, still
lack a clear comprehensive framework for assessing green investment
climate and formulating an efficient mix of measures to accelerate
green investments and are unfamiliar with international funding
sources that can be tapped. To address this challenge, the World
Bank, with support from AusAID, conducts the work on improving the
financing opportunities for green infrastructure investments among
its client countries. This activity attempts to identify practical
ways to value and monetize environmental externalities of
investments and improve the promotion and bankability of green
projects. This research report, as a key step in this activity,
provides a structured compendium of ongoing leading initiatives and
activities designed to accelerate private investment flows in green
growth. It summarizes current investment challenges of green
projects as well as proposed solutions, financing schemes and
instruments, and initiatives that have set the stage for promoting
green growth. The results of this work are intended to benefit the
international community and policymakers who are seeking to deepen
their knowledge of green investment environment. In addition, it is
hoped that this work will be useful to practitioners, including
fund managers and investors, seeking to have a better understanding
of current trends, global initiatives, and available funding
sources and mechanisms for financing green projects.
