This report emphasizes that renewable energy investments must double by 2030 to meet climate goals and energy demand growth. Key barriers include high perceived risk, limited access to capital, and insufficient policy frameworks. Public finance institutions can mitigate risks through tools like guarantees, currency hedging, and liquidity facilities. Structured finance mechanisms, such as standardized contracts, aggregation, and securitization (e.g., green bonds and Yieldcos), attract institutional investors. Case studies demonstrate how combining policy support and financial risk mitigation can unlock investment. Recommendations include advancing projects from initiation to maturity, engaging local financial institutions, mitigating risks systematically, mobilizing capital markets, and creating dedicated financing facilities. International cooperation and standardized processes are crucial for scaling up renewable energy investments.
