To achieve a just and equitable energy transition capital must be accessible, available, and affordable. The UAE Leaders’ Declaration on a Global Climate Finance Framework and ALTÉRRA are examples of the collaborative mechanisms aiming to mobilise capital and reduce risk, but progress still needs to be made. Barriers to investor confidence range from developing economies’ high borrowing costs, real and perceived investment risks, limited creditworthy off takers, and uncertain regulatory environments, all of which need to be addressed to attract and secure critical funding.
Attendee insights:
In the lead up to COP29, join a multilateral stakeholder group to progress dialogue around viable, sustainable, and innovative finance structures to enable a pragmatic and equitable energy transition.
