G20 countries policy barriers are deterring the investments necessary to tackle the climate crisis. 

The Assessment of G20 Countries’ Green Investment Environments finds that most G20 countries do not have the policy settings in place to attract the urgent investment needed in the zero-emissions, climate resilient transition. This is a significant finding, with G20 countries accounting for 80 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

The assessment measures G20 countries’ progress towards the five policy recommendations in the Investor Agenda’s 2021 Global Investor Statement to Governments on the Climate Crisis, which are key to unlocking the trillions of dollars needed to address the climate crisis. 

Released by AIGCC, Ceres, IGCC and IIGCC, the assessment collates analyses from independent, credible, rigorous sources to enable investors to identify countries with the most and least attractive green investment environments.
