‘Meeting the Climate Challenge: Using Public Funds to Leverage Private Investment in Developing Countries’ is the output of a public\/private discussion coordinated by Lord Nicholas Stern, Chair of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics. The main purpose of that discussion was to identify the most efficient instruments that Governments could use to leverage private finance and thereby enable sufficient financial flows to developing countries to achieve their mitigation and adaptation objectives.<\/p>\n
The analysis and conclusions are detailed in five sections, written by experts from the private sector in collaboration with counterparts in the UK Government, and project managed by Giedre Kaminskaite-Salters, UK Department for International Development (DFID) and Mattia Romani, LSE Grantham Institute:<\/p>\n
The Summary for Policy Makers covers key challenges and sets out the recommendations that emerged from public\/private discussions.<\/p>\n
Section one is an introduction to the topic of using public finance in order to leverage private investments in developing countries.<\/p>\n
Authors: Mattia Romani, LSE Grantham Research Institute in collaboration with Melinda Bohannon, UK Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC)<\/p>\n
Section two proposes an analytical framework for looking at the case for government intervention in climate change, focusing on the various forms of market failures and the criteria for public sector mechanisms.<\/p>\n
Authors: Alex Bowen, LSE Grantham Research Institute; Mattia Romani, LSE Grantham Research Institute; Dimitri Zenghelis, LSE Grantham Research Institute \/ Cisco<\/p>\n
Section three considers ways of raising public finance, describing and analysing mechanisms through the capital markets.<\/p>\n
Author: Mattia Romani, LSE Grantham Research Institute in collaboration with Leila Pourarkin, DECC<\/p>\n
Section four considers spending public finance, through the use of ‘specific instruments for specific challenges’. It examines the nature of risk in key sectors and what an appropriate package of measures could look like for clean energy and technology, energy efficiency, forestry and adaptation in order to derive specific recommendations for each sector.
