The approach includes a financing and advisory interface, which clarifies the principles and concepts of the shared financing roles recommended by the methodology. The Framework attempts to bring clean investments towards a more familiar financing environment and to distance them from the charged political debate that has adversely affected the progress in international climate change discussions for over a decade. The detrimental effect of climate change is growing, yet clean investments are still grossly insufficient making it necessary to rethink the approach to greening the global energy mix. The need for some level of concessional financing or outright subsidy support is widely understood but the approach must be equitable, non-political and deliver a sufficient level of support. The concept of anchoring regulation in a country's existing public-private partnership (PPP) framework to focus on creating the right policy environment will greatly facilitate mainstream implementation and reduce costs. This aspect of the framework is widely understood by many developing country governments and can be easily replicated not only in East Asia, but also in other regions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOallocationarbitrationasset basebiomassbondscapital costscapitalizationcarboncarbon financecarbon marketcarbon marketscarbon mitigationcarbon priceCarbon Pricescertified emission reductionsClean Development Mechanismclean energyclean technologiesclean technologyClimateclimate changeCO2coalcommercial contractscompetitive biddingcontributions to investmentcost effectivenessdeveloped countriesdeveloping countriesdeveloping countryeconomic benefitseconomic developmenteconomic instrumentselectricityelectricity priceseligibility criteriaemissionemission reductionsemission technologiesEmission TradingemissionsEndowmentsenergy efficiencyenergy mixEnergy Sourcesenforceable contractsenvironmentalenvironmental benefitsenvironmental economicsenvironmental policyequilibriumExport Financingexternalitiesfinancial burdenFinancial Costsfinancial exposurefinancial incentivesFinancial instrumentsfinancial marketfinancial measuresfinancial sectorfinancial subsidiesfinancial supportfinancial viabilityfinancing needsfossil fuelfossil fuel usefossil fuelsFramework Convention on Climate Changefunding sourcesgap financingGHGGHGsGlobal Environment Facilitygreenhousegreenhouse gasgreenhouse gas emissionsHFCshost governmenthost governmentshybrid financingindustrial gasesInfrastructure Financeinfrastructure investmentsinvestment choiceinvestment climateinvestment decisionsinvestment financinginvestment opportunitiesInvestment Policiesinvestment projectsissuancelong-term investmentslow-carbonmarginal abatementmarginal abatement costmarket makermarket priceMonetary ValueN2OPFCsPolicy Environmentpollutionpresent valueprivate financeprivate financingPublic financepublic goodsPublic-Private Partnershippublic-private partnershipsrate of returnrates of returnRegional CarbonRegional Carbon Marketsregistration processregulatory authorityregulatory frameworkregulatory frameworksrenewable energyreturnssustainable developmentTaxTax Incentivestax liabilitiesthird-party risktotal benefitstransactiontransaction costtransparencyUnionwindwind energyWorld Bank10.1596/14857
