Abstract

Low-carbon finance markets are complex systems of heterogeneous actors operating across the globe. They have diverse investment preferences and risk appetites, and their collective interactions and dynamics shape investment flows into low-carbon assets. Using the case of solar, wind and hydro energy technologies, this chapter explores the complexity in low-carbon finance markets, defined as markets that direct capital flows towards low-carbon technologies, using network approaches to study their structure and dynamics. Identifying key actors and their interactions, and understanding the evolutionary and adaptive processes which shape flows of low-carbon investments will be critical to design effective public finance and policy instruments for accelerating the deployment of low-carbon assets and realizing the climate transition.
