In Mongolia, GGGI has worked with the Government to explore a variety of scenarios and possible mixes of energy systems. The analysis reflected in this slim volume is an initial review of data and trends in Mongolia.

Success of these policies will also depend on the positive collaboration between the public and private sector.

This report develops a framework that classifies investments according to different types of financing instruments and investment funds, and highlights the risk mitigants and transaction enablers that intermediaries (such as public green investment banks and other public financial institutions) can use to mobilise institutionally held capital. This framework can also be used to identify where investments are or are not flowing, and focus attention on how governments can support the development of potentially promising investment channels and consider policy interventions that can make institutional investment in sustainable energy infrastructure more likely.
