Climatescope 2014

The CSIS Energy and National Security Program is pleased to host a presentation of the recently released Climatescope 2014. The Climatescope is a unique country-by-country assessment, interactive report and index that evaluates the investment climate for climate-related investment worldwide. It profiles 55 countries and evaluates their ability to attract capital for low-carbon energy sources while building a greener economy. The Climatescope is a snapshot of where clean energy policy and finance stand today and a guide to where clean energy can go. Presenting the report will be Ethan Zindler, Head of Policy Analysis at Bloomberg New Energy Finance and CSIS Energy Program non-resident senior associate, followed by a panel discussion on low carbon energy-related investment in developing countries featuring Don Niss, Deputy Coordinator for the Power Africa and Trade Africa Initiative, Greg Watson, Head of Strategic Planning and Partnerships at the Multilateral Investment Fund, part of the Inter-American Development Bank, and David Rodgers, Senior Energy Specialist with the Global Environment Facility. Sarah Ladislaw, Director and Senior Fellow at the CSIS Energy and National Security Program, will moderate the discussion.
