Thinking big: narrowing the investment gap for energy efficiency in the EU
other
Standardisation and aggregation are prerequisites for enabling the securitisation of energy efficiency assets, and thus attracting institutional investor capital to help bridge the investment gap for energy efficiency in Europe. Achieving the Paris Climate Agreement goals requires trillions of dollars of investment globally in the coming decades to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (IEA, 2014, 2017; IFC, 2016; New Climate Economy, 2016). Energy use across a broad range of sectors – industry, built environment, energy production, to name a few – is a key contributor to global GHG emissions. To meet the world’s climate goals, transitioning to clean sources of energy, and the efficient use of energy, needs to happen fast.
