We work with countries and partners to de-risk investments, support policy and regulatory reforms and provide policy advisory services that helps to enable and scale up sustainable energy investments.  

Private sector investment in sustainable energy faces investment barriers and risks that drive high financing costs and limit prospects for wider market size and scale-up in developing countries. To address these barriers systematically, drawing from UNDP's experience in renewable energy market transformation in over 80 developing economies, UNDP works to strengthen developing country capabilities in energy policy, planning and partnerships, finance, and deployment of digital technologies. This includes designing effective policies and regulations to enable sustainable energy investment, including building consensus for a just energy transition and the adoption of clean energy targets and policies. Our policy advisory workstream is critical to enable a rapid, agile and tailored response to developing countries needs to achieve their energy access and just transition targets.
