Addressing the barriers to climate investment

This guide summarizes the barriers to financing mitigation and adaptation activities, as well as discussing factors to consider when selecting and implementing financial instruments. Pages 2–3 provide a general introduction to investment barriers, and pp. 4–5 contain a table detailing different kinds of potential investment barrier. The key financial instruments and modalities considered in the guide are discussed in relation to the Green Climate Fund, but the lessons are applicable to other channels for climate finance.
