Energy sector decarbonisation, which is a prerequisite to tackling climate change, entails major low-carbon technology investments across the globe. However, currently only a fraction of those investments is directed towards emerging and developing economies, partly due to large disparities in financing conditions and perceived investment risks. We apply an empirical dataset of costs of capital, differentiated by technology and country, and explore the impacts of various plausible, expert-informed trends of (de-) risking investments in clean energy versus fossil-fuel technologies on decarbonisation pathways. We also assess the effects of a ‘corrective justice’ policy measure of risk underwriting for low-carbon investments, whereby corporate windfall profits are taxed, and the revenues redistributed as subsidies towards higher-risk regions.
