Overcoming barriers and risks to mobilise investment Existence of market opportunities Reasonable return on investment Limited or acceptable level of risk Need for understanding of the specific challenges and risks to climate technology investments Technology risks Market risks Capacity constraints Policy and regulatory risks Financial challenges Scale of investment challenges Specific financial challenges within developing country context Scarce availability of capital for public investment Poor credit-worthiness and lack of guarantees Lack of access to appropriate forms of credit August 2014 9
Mobilizing investment requires a range of public sector responses Public sector incentives to mitigate risks for private sector investors: understanding technology specific barriers and real and perceived risks of investors important to determine appropriate mix of policy, regulatory and finance incentives Policy incentives and regulations - Renewable energy support mechanisms - Tax credits - Energy efficiency standards - Low-carbon transport pricing schemes Public sector financial instruments - Loans (concessional) - Guarantees - Grants - Equity No single way of designing a successful incentive scheme or financial instrument - public resources designed to best allocate risks and rewards between actors August 2014 10
