WRI held an event with the International Solar Alliance (ISA) and Bloomberg Philanthropies to launch a Solar Investment Action Agenda, which identifies potential high-impact opportunities to accelerate solar investment and reach ISA’s goal of mobilizing $1 trillion by 2030. This resource also summarizes policy and risk management actions that can unlock investment by industry, governments and investors—and initiates an examination of the institutional arrangements needed to accelerate solar deployment. It will guide the development of a Solar Investment Roadmap to be released in 2022. For more information, read the press release.
