Green & resilience banks: How the green investment bank model can play a role in scaling up climate finance in emerging markets

Organizations: NRDC/Coalition for Green Capital/Climate Finance Advisors
Green investment banks

This paper, authored by the Coalition For Green Capital, the Natural Resources Defense Council and Climate Finance Advisors, shows how green investment banks are succeeding in countries such as Australia, Japan, Malaysia, UK, and the USA. Green investment banks are specialized public financing authorities set up to persuade private investors to increase and accelerate their investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency. The paper also explores the potential of the green investment bank model in emerging and developing economies.

This report provides the first comprehensive study of publicly capitalized green investment banks, analyzing the rationales, mandates, and financing activities of this relatively new category of public financial institution. Based on the experience of over a dozen green investment banks and similar entities, the report provides a nonprescriptive stocktaking of the diverse ways in which these public institutions are catalyzing private investment in low carbon, climate resilient infrastructure and other green sectors, with a spotlight on energy efficiency projects. The report also provides practical information to policymakers on how green investment banks are being set up, capitalized, and staffed.
