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

The document outlines a study by IRENA focused on scaling up renewable energy in developing countries through a global analysis of finance flows and the design of national policy frameworks. It emphasizes that mobilizing finance requires a holistic, locally tailored approach combining transparent regulatory frameworks with targeted government interventions. The study suggests that international climate finance should be utilized to reduce investment risks, leverage private finance through public-private partnerships, and provide capacity building for project developers and public officials.

• Mobilizing finance for renewable energy necessitates a holistic approach that recognizes the unique complexity of each market, requiring policies tailored to local contexts that integrate transparent regulatory frameworks with specific government interventions.
• International climate finance can be strategically deployed to reduce investment risks, increase leverage for private finance and public-private partnerships, and support capacity building for public officials, finance institutions, and project developers.
