In December 2022, CCSI published a report on the roadblocks and drivers of renewable energy investment. Distilling solutions from international experience, the report, "Scaling Investment in Renewable Energy Generation to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 13 (Climate Action) and the Paris Agreement: Roadblocks and Drivers," clarifies where international and national efforts should be focused to address the deterrents of investment in renewables and enable zero-carbon energy security and prosperity in developing countries.

This report not only identifies the main roadblocks to investment in renewables but also provides actionable recommendations that developing countries should take to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all, and to decarbonize their energy systems and economies, with a view to achieving the SDGs and the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
