Allianz Climate and Energy Monitor 2018

The Allianz Climate and Energy Monitor 2018 evaluates G20 nations on their investment attractiveness for renewable energy and their long-term decarbonization strategies. France is ranked as the most attractive destination, while Russia ranks last. The report finds that most G20 countries lack binding long-term strategies and sufficient renewable energy targets to meet the Paris Agreement goals, although some previous stragglers like Saudi Arabia and Turkey are improving their policy environments.

• France is currently the most attractive G20 country for renewable energy investments, while Russia is the least attractive.
• Most G20 nations lack the necessary long-term strategies and targets to achieve power sector decarbonization by 2050. Only Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, the UK, and the US have formally submitted long-term decarbonization strategies to the UNFCCC, and only the UK's strategy proposes full decarbonization of the power sector.
• While some countries like Germany, France, Brazil, and Argentina have planned sufficient annual renewable installations, most G20 countries have targets that only extend to 2025 or 2030, which may hinder a timely energy transition.
• There is a divergence in policy trends among G20 members: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Argentina are improving their policy environments through auctioning schemes, whereas the US and Australia are decreasing federal support for renewables.
• Despite having comprehensive direct support frameworks (such as feed-in-tariffs and auctions) in countries like China, Germany, India, Brazil, Japan, and France, all G20 countries need to improve policy certainty and administrative procedures to attract more investment.
