This report explores evidence-based action areas to increase and accelerate the mobilisation of private finance for climate action in developing countries, and the role of international public finance providers in doing so. It draws on best-available data to provide disaggregated analysis of the sectoral, geographic and other features of private finance mobilised by public climate finance and presents key economy-wide, sector-specific, and institutional challenges to private finance mobilisation. The analysis is anchored in the context of the USD 100 billion climate finance goal, initially set for 2020 and extended to 2025, while also providing insights related to mobilising private finance for climate action in developing countries more broadly.
Geographic, sectoral, and institutional challenges to and opportunities for private finance mobilisation
This chapter draws on the quantitative analysis in Chapter 2 and further empirical evidence to identify barriers to and opportunities for scaling up the mobilisation of private finance for climate action in developing countries. It explores (i) policy, regulatory and wider constraints in recipient countries and their impact on investor perceptions; (ii) hurdles to private investment and possible solutions in two key areas: clean energy, and agriculture and forestry; and (iii) constraints within the multilateral development architecture that limit private capital mobilisation. Scaling up the mobilisation of private finance requires system-wide action: concerted efforts to improve the conditions for private investment in developing countries; more effective use of public climate finance to crowd-in investment; and strengthening of the international climate finance architecture, notably multilateral development banks, to more effectively partner with the private sector.
