Fast Out of the Gate: How Developing Asian Countries Can Prepare to Access International Green Growth Financing - Executive Summary

Globally, estimates of existing public and private funds allocated for climate finance range from just over USD 200 billion to USD 364 billion annually. Yet this amounts to only between 20-30 percent of the approximately USD 1 trillion required annually over the next decade to finance the transition to a low-carbon economy. The "Fast Out of the Gate" report reviews the main public and private sector funds and mechanisms for financing low emission projects, businesses, and infrastructure in the Asia region that mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases and thereby address climate change. It is based on  a review of more than 200 climate-related funds and financing mechanisms in the Asian region, along with interviews with 27 development financing institutions, banks, and private sector fund managers across seven countries.
