Private Financing
of Renewable Energy -- A Guide for Policymakers --
 This
Guide provides an outline of how financing renewable energy works,
with a particular focus on more mature end of the market, i.e.
the proven technologies that can be deployed now and at scale.
It aims to show how policy looks and where it fits in from a financing
perspective, as well as the range of other factors that need taken
into account in doing an actual project or deal.
New Project launching: With a range of world class partners,
UNEP is developing a guide for conducting national-level multi-criteria-analyses
of climate policy options across both adaptation and mitigation.
The guide will provide the most comprehensive tool for governments
wanting to prepare Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action Plans
and National Adaptation Plans. A dedicated website will be online
early in 2010, so you can follow our progress and give us your
feedback.
