DFID 7884 (was 7614) Climatescope

Climatescope is an online information tool which presents the comparative attractiveness of the investment climate for clean energy across a number of emerging markets. The expected results are new private investments in renewable / clean energy in developing countries; improved attractiveness of countries' enabling environments and greater awareness amongst policymakers who drive improvements in the policy and enabling environment; and donor projects which are better focused and measured. This is achieved by providing a country-by-country assessment, interactive report and index for 58 countries (and 6 Indian state jurisdictions) worldwide that evaluates their ability to attract capital for low-carbon energy sources. DFID's support focuses on a selection of poorer countries that align with UK Aid priorities. DFID will extend and maintain funding for the index for 13 African countries and 10 Asian countries (including a total of 6 Indian states), which expands it to two new Indian states (Bihar and Orissa) where DFID has energy investments and 3 Middle East countries in response to stabilisation and Fragile and Conflict Affected State(s) related priorities.
