AIGCC has undertaken this survey with the intent of gauging how investors are approaching climate-aligned investment, where they are allocating capital and what barriers or challenges they face when investing in climate solutions.
This publication is intended for businesses, especially Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). It aims to demonstrate the compelling business case for eco-innovation and how it can enable companies to carve out commercially interesting opportunities.
In this paper, the identification of gaps in climate finance is based on a comprehensive review not only of current climate finance projects, but also of the contributions of SMEs to climate action, drawing on nearly twenty years of experience in providing incubation and acceleration programmes for eco-inclusive enterprises within SEED programmes as well as insights and good practices from the interrelated spheres of SME finance and green finance. This paper provides climate finance practitioners and policymakers as well as local financial institutions and other SME intermediaries (such as incubators, accelerators, business development service (BDS) providers) with tangible recommendations to better understand and leverage the potential of SMEs in meeting climate action objectives from the ground up.
The report communicates how climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution can be tackled jointly within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. It serves to translate the current state of scientific knowledge into crisp, clear, and digestible facts-based messages that the world can relate to and follow up on.
The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is developing a Simulation Tool based on coupled system dynamics models for the different indicators of the Green Growth Index. As illustrated in this technical report, such models are very complex but, at the same time, extremely useful in exploring relevant scenarios on future implications of policy and investment decisions on green growth transition.
