We expect increased investments in new generation energy frameworks such as sustainable low-carbon technologies and in clean energy systems in the interest of enhancing economic development. The short-term costs of shifting to low carbon are likely to amount to just a fraction of the finance required for infrastructure. Therefore, new sources of financing need to be mobilized, and a sharp focus should be placed on generating long term finance. We expect governments to support investments in greenhouse gas-intensive activities and

climate objectives into public procurement and official development assistance during the forecast period. Thus, it will help in catalyzing low carbon transitions during the forecast period.We expect huge innovation in low carbon technologies during the forecast

period, owing to government’s commitment to the core climate policy instruments. This will create new businesses and replace old technologies with new and advanced technologies. Such developments should also encompass mechanisms to address the potential skills gaps through training, education,and labor market policies.If we look at the present market scenario, international trade barriers can

undermine climate objectives like import tariffs that penalize trade in some technologies required for low carbon transition. Negotiations may help to reduce the costs of climate mitigation efforts. For instance, Environmental Goods Agreement, once ratified, will help in reducing overall investments and may boost the uptake of sustainable technologies during the forecast period.
