- Book Synopsis
- This book is the first comprehensive assessment of the state of low-carbon investments in Asia, analyzing the rationales, mandates and public-private financing activities. Based on the experiences of several regional initiatives wherein public financing is catalyzing private investments in low-carbon infrastructure, this book proposes a framework that can be used as a tool to identify factors that influence private investment decisions and policy instruments that can scale up the private capital. Placing the Asian economies onto a low-carbon development pathway requires an unprecedented shift in investments. This book addresses this situation by asking questions such as: What is the central role of private finance in achieving the Paris Agreement targets? What key policy levers and risk mitigation can governments use in an effort to unlock the potentials of private capital? How can regionally coordinated actions hold significant promise for scaling up private investments?
