DOWNLOAD EBOOKGlobal investment in energy transition technologies, including energy efficiency, reached a record high of USD 1.3 trillion in 2022. However, annual investments need to at least quadruple to remain on track to achieve the 1.5°C Scenario in IRENA's World Energy Transitions Outlook 2023. Investment in renewable energy was also unprecedented - at USD 0.5 trillion - but represented less than one third of the average investment needed each year. Investments are also not flowing at the pace or scale needed to accelerate progress towards universal energy access; investments in off-grid renewable energy solutions in 2021 - at USD 0.5 billion - fell far short of the USD 2.3 billion needed annually in off-grid solar products alone (not including mini-grids). This Third Edition of the biannual joint report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) analyses investment trends by technology, sector, region, source of finance and financial instrument in the period 2013-2020 and provides preliminary data for 2021-2022.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe third installment of the ‘European Public Investment Outlook’ series is an important and timely publication that draws together recent analyses to recommend significant increases in public investment in green ventures. Compelling data from key economists affiliated with international organizations like the International Monetary Fund, European Investment Bank and the European Commission, as well as academic departments and policy institutes are a clarion call for green investment to boost the economy and put the planet on a sustainable path. Like its predecessors, the book presents the issues in a lucid and navigable manner. Part I explores the EU’s current levels of green public investment, as well as the challenges ahead in achieving net zero carbon emissions after years of decreasing funding and the obstacles presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The public investment trends of France, Germany, Italy and Spain are systematically evaluated, as well as the REPowerEU policy – accelerated in Spring 2022 – to move away from Russia’s supply of fossil fuels. Part II focuses on the investment needed for green transition; the important economic and fiscal effects and benefits this would bring; and the reality of what is required before 2030 to achieve the EU’s carbon-neutral targets by 2050. Greening Europe is essential reading for economists, environmentalists, and policymakers. It should also be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the cost implications of the ‘carbon-neutral’ policies that governments have promised, and the urgent need to change our approach towards energy usage.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe COVID-19 crisis has proven that sustainability of an institution or organization requires a constant review of one’s strategic positioning and the execution of pertinent plans in response to evolving externalities. Resilient organizations continue to revive themselves through effective R&D and the renewal of their range of products and services. Financial and Technological Innovation for Sustainability: Environmental, Social and Governance Performance examines approaches to sustainability under the ongoing development of energy sustainability and the green finance initiatives. It unveils global heterogeneous efforts in achieving Environmental Social Governance (ESG) performance in light of climate change, global sustainability and concerns over corporate “greenwashing”. The book assembles a wealth of case studies from a variety of contemporary organizations that actively pursue sustainable development while seeking their next economic growth. These global cases demonstrate the salience of governance that institutes continuous advancements to enable the timely revitalization of corporate strategies, technological innovation and deployment of financial resources for sustainability transformation regardless of their stages of lifecycle. They reveal distinct approaches to financial and technological innovation in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America in pursuing the shared UN Sustainable Development Goals. The intertwined public-private partnership and implications of geopolitics under an evolving global financial system for sustainability transformation are articulated. This book will appeal to academics as well as business and finance professionals, who are keen to understand the interrelationship between financial and technological innovation, and to those who want to comprehend the underlying global challenges and opportunities of adopting emerging technologies to reinvent a business model that forges measurable and impactful ESG performances.
