    Energy Efficiency Finance Programs: Best Practices to Leverage Private Green Finance

    Retallack, Simon; Johnson, Andrew; Brunert, Joshua; Rasoulinezhad, Ehsan; Taghizadeh-Hesary, Farhad | October 2018
    Abstract
    A common struggle across energy efficiency programs is the creation of sustainable private sector markets that reduce the energy demand. The purpose of this study is to outline the best practice for achieving smart public programs that overcome the main energy efficiency challenges and leverage the private finance needed for deployment at scale. Our concluded program is based on an assessment of 10 case studies, interviews, and evaluations of past programs. The results revealed that strong policy frameworks should strengthen investment business cases with the right economic and regulatory drivers. Furthermore, more resources should support technical assistance. Activities such as awareness raising, pipeline generation, and derisking are essential to create sufficient demand and commitment. Besides, upskilling, equipping, and accrediting suppliers and technical advisors are critical to create a sustainable, scalable, and bankable pipeline.

      Aligning Climate Finance and Development Finance for Asia and the Pacific: Potential and Prospects 

      Haites, Erik (Asian Development Bank, 2014-01-15)
      "Development projects may contribute to mitigation and/or adaptation. Mitigation and adaptation projects likewise may have development benefits. But development and climate change projects are not the same. All projects should, to the extent possible, contribute both to development and to climate change mitigation and/or adaptation. Alignment requires that development projects access climate funding ...

      Financing Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Role of Regional Financing Arrangements 

      Sharan, Diwesh (Asian Development Bank, 2008-12-01)
      An extensive architecture of financing for climate change mitigation and adaptation has started to develop around the world. While climate change is a global public good, it has strong regional features, and, consequently, regional institutions and financing arrangements play an important role. Regional financing arrangements complement and strengthen global collective action and should be treated ...
