Energy Policy and Finance Bodies
Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition
The Role of Policy and Finance Bodies in the Energy Transition
The global energy transition, driven by the urgent need to address climate change, relies heavily on critical minerals and supportive policies. Various organisations provide crucial research, data, and policy recommendations to guide countries' energy transition efforts. Financial institutions offer funding and technical assistance for renewable energy projects and infrastructure development, supporting the global shift towards sustainable energy. Organisations such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) provide vital research, data, and policy recommendations to guide countries' energy transition efforts. Financial institutions like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), African Development Bank (AfDB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) offer funding and technical assistance for renewable energy projects and infrastructure development. Numerous entities work towards fostering international cooperation, environmental sustainability, and energy security. Several programs focus on innovative financing mechanisms, green growth strategies, and promoting renewable energy technologies.
