Financing Energy Efficiency: Lessons From Brazil, China, India, and Beyond

Greater energy efficiency is key for shifting country development paths toward lower-carbon economic growth. Especially in developing countries and transition economies, vast potential for energy savings opportunities remain unrealized even though current financial returns are strong. Financing Energy Efficiency: Lessons from Brazil, China, India, and Beyond examines the nature of this dilemma and how it may be overcome in practical and operational terms.
