Assessing the investment climate for climate investments: a comparative clean energy framework for South Asia in a global context
With the long-term goal of promoting and accelerating the implementation of climate mitigation technologies, this study aims to facilitate the development of a policy framework for promoting sustainable investment climates for climate-friendly investments in South Asia and elsewhere. A key aspect of the study is also a pilot initiative for the construction of Climate Investment Readiness Index (CIRI) for several countries. CIRI is a tool to systematically and objectively evaluate the enabling environment for supporting private sector investment in climate mitigation or low carbon technologies.
