Funding Gap

Green investment opportunities can help to close the country's infrastructure funding gap and also meet its climate commitments. The Green Infrastructure Investment Opportunities - Brazil 2019 was developed to facilitate the engagement between project owners and developers, and investors. The report analyses the development of the sustainable finance market in Brazil, and the investment opportunities in green infrastructure across four key sectors: low carbon transport, renewable energy, sustainable water management, and sustainable waste management for energy generation. Moreover, it also lists alternatives for unlocking the country's potential in sustainable infrastructure investment as well as identifying a range of actual projects that are in the pipeline for development and which could potentially access green finance.

Green Investment

The unsustainability of the global economy and environmental risks were in many ways the trigger that led to the formation of new priorities and models of the economy, both in theory and in real economic life. The paper discusses crucial issues of green finance in the context of the greening of the world economy, in particular, the increasingly significant low-carbon trends. The green finance market is growing at an enormous rate every year. A significant part of the green funds is invested in the reduction of the carbon intensity of economy, the energy efficiency, development of the renewable energy. A growing number of countries, banks and corporations are pursuing green investment policies to achieve ambitious carbon neutrality goals. The development of a green financing system is also taking place in Russia. Such structures as VEB.RF, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Economic Development are participating in its development. However, within the framework of an unstable commodity-exporting model of the economy, it is difficult to build an effective system of green financing. Russia needs to develop a long-term strategy for the country’s development, which can be based on the principles of sustainable development, balancing social, economic, financial and environmental factors.

Significance An EU-wide framework that will help investors to differentiate between what the EU views as sustainable and unsustainable activities, it is an important pillar for the Commission’s sustainable finance agenda. This seeks to steer financial-sector investment towards firms that practise sustainable activities and incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into their long-term strategies. Impacts Without the full support of member states and the ECB, there is a risk than much of the EU’s agenda will remain aspirational. Addressing climate change will see greater regulatory oversight in green investment, but this could slow growth in the sector. The EU’s issuance of green bonds worth over EUR200bn would provide a significant boost to the global green bond market.

Many players have supported infrastructure development in the Mekong Subregion, bridging the missing links in Southeast Asia. While the influx of energy-related infrastructure development investments to the region has improved the livelihoods of millions of people on the one hand, it has brought about a myriad of challenges to the wider region in guiding investments for quality infrastructure and for promoting a low-carbon economy, and energy access and affordability, on the other hand. Besides reviewing key regional initiatives for infrastructure investment and development, this paper examines energy demand and supply, and forecasts energy consumption in the subregion during 2017–2050 using energy modeling scenario analysis. The study found that to satisfy growing energy demand in the subregion, huge power generation infrastructure investment, estimated at around USD 190 billion–220 billion, is necessary between 2017 and 2050 and that such an investment will need to be guided by appropriate policy. We argue that without redesigning energy policy towards high-quality energy infrastructure, it is very likely that the increasing use of coal upon which the region greatly depends will lead to the widespread construction of coal-fired power plants, which could result in increased greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions.

Sustainable Infrastructure

Despite the significant challenges in mobilizing investors resources towards sustainable infrasctrure investments in Latin America and the Carribbean, an investment opportunity in low carbon and resilient assets exists and represents a critical step towards a sustainable economic recovery from the financial duress due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on health and economic systems of the region. This papers contribuition is two-fold: it attempts to estimate and size an ideal sustainable investable pipeline accross the region generated by several policies promoting public-private-partnerships (PPP) in the transport and energy sectors. Then it identifies and details different investment strategies and financial instruments available to institutional investors to invest in the region while mitigating the risks they perceived and hinder the mobilization of their resources. Such strategies discussed in the paper include: joint ventures with local counterparties, direct and active investments in the national markets, and/or access to markets via partnerships with development financial institutions.
