Public Financial Institutions and the Low-Carbon Transition: Five Case studies on Low-Carbon Infrastructure and Project Investment

23 November 2014 - By : Ian COCHRAN, Phd / Romain HUBERT / Virginie Marchal (OECD) / Robert Youngman (OECD)

The analysis is structured around three principal areas of intervention: the use of traditional and innovative approaches to link low-carbon projects with finance through enhancing access to capital; facilitating risk reduction and sharing; improving the capacity of market actors; and shaping broader market practices and conditions.

The results of this study were presented during a side-event at COP19 in Warsaw Poland as well as to the OECD Working Party on Climate, Investment and Development.

The individual case studies are working documents last updated at the end of 2013.

    This is it. In a few days, thousands of people from around the world will be gathering in Washington to look back on the latest achievements and discuss the future of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund – the two institutions that structure international cooperation for development.

These Spring Meetings will be the last for future ex-President of the World Bank David Malpass, who is leaving at what might be a turning point for the institution’s history.
