Global trends in sustainable energy investment 2009: Analysis of trends and issues in the financing of renewable energy and energy efficiency
Description
This report is considered by many to be the most authoritative appraisal of clean energy investment trend. It comes less than six months before the crucial UN climate convention meeting taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the view of the UN Environment Programme and increasingly others that a Green Economy approach to these and other emerging challenges, such as energy security, resource efficiency and catalyzing an innovation-based economy, go hand in hand. Renewable energy, with its low carbon footprint, the relative speed with which it can be deployed into developed and developing communities alike and its ability to generate new kinds of businesses and green jobs, is a key element of that transition.
