Question details
Definition 'low carbon and climate resilient investments'
Can you please clearly define what is meant by 'low carbon and climate resilient investments'? Does it mean any project which mitigates CO² emissions? For example, do waste-to-energy plants qualify? How about non-road transportation projects, such as railway and intermodal (road-rail, air-rail, etc.) projects? Do energy efficient buildings qualify?
18/10/2013
There is not an internationally agreed definition of 'low carbon and climate resilient investments'. The topic is extensively discussed by OECD in the publication of November 2012 "Mobilising Investment in Low Carbon, Climate Resilient Infrastructure" an subsequent work stream.
