Projects

While acknowledging the great potential for climate protection measures in the field of energy, we also see the need to take on a broader perspective incorporating other aspects of climate change mitigation, such as the prevention of deforestation, sustainable transport, and cleaner technology, into the role of the financial industry in developed and developing countries in promoting low-carbon and sustainable development.

Specifically we carry out activities in the following areas:

• Projects in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency financing in developing countries and emerging economies;
• Guidance to financial institutions in emerging markets and developing countries to embrace the challenges and opportunities that climate change will bring about for the whole industry (institutional capacity). More concretely, the Collaborating Centre supports the financial sector in developing innovative products, risk-sharing instruments and project implementation approaches;
• Liaising with the international financial sector and building networks to identify promising approaches to promote engagement in and financing of climate change mitigation measures;
• Fostering co-operation and exchange of experience with other international institutions, networks and initiatives engaged in the same area.
• Awareness raising activities on different levels: policy, industry-wide, and institutional;
• Conducting applied research with regards to financing aspects of climate change mitigation and financial sector involvement.
