4. Financial Mechanisms and Investment Frameworks for Renewables in Developing Countries

This executive summary describes a study by IRENA on financial mechanisms and investment frameworks for renewable energy (RE) in developing countries. The study analyzes global RE finance flows, provides recommendations for national policy design, and presents case studies from Asia, Africa, and Latin America to support the scaling up of renewable energy for climate mitigation.

• The study provides a comprehensive analysis of renewable energy (RE) finance in the developing world, encompassing global finance flows, policy frameworks, enabling conditions, and specific recommendations for designing national RE finance policies and programs.
• International climate finance can be utilized to reduce investment risks, leverage additional private finance and public-private partnerships, and provide capacity building for public officials, finance institutions, and project developers.
• Mobilizing finance for renewable energy requires a holistic approach and policies tailored to local contexts, integrating transparent regulatory frameworks with specific government interventions, as each RE market is a complex and unique system.
