Overview
This grant will support Climate Policy Initiative’s Energy Finance Program in meeting its three goals: (a) the development and propagation of models, tools, and processes to identify and manage climate transition risk; (b) encouraging energy market reform around carbon-free resources; and (c), using finance as a catalyst to implement low-carbon solutions. The Initiative will build on earlier work, on both transition risk and market reform, to identify which types of investors would be encouraged to make carbon-reducing investments; and then research new financial instruments, portfolio designs, or hedging products that could help reduce the risk and lower the financing cost of low-carbon solutions.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The Climate Policy Initiative is an analysis and advisory organization with deep expertise in finance and policy. Its mission is to help governments, businesses, and financial institutions drive economic growth, while addressing climate change. The initiative works to accelerate climate finance deployment, recognizing that, while the world has begun to mobilize new climate finance, it has not yet achieved the scale or the rate needed. (Substrategy: Climate Finance )
for the Net Zero Finance Tracker
Climate Policy Initiative helps governments, businesses, and financial institutions drive economic growth while addressing climate change. The organization will expand the scope and reach of its existing data platform, which provides the most comprehensive assessment of global financial institutions’ progress toward net-zero. This will drive greater transparency and accountability to support the decarbonization of the financial sector. The data platform will capture the progress made over the past year and help frame the discussion ahead of COP29, which is specifically focused on finance issues. (Substrategy: Finance)
