This group should discuss the need to create positive investment conditions for existing and cusp clean technologies and the policies that would facilitate doing this. It should also look at the innovation chain and discuss what needs to be done to enhance it globally. We aim to deliver key messages on the need to shift the expected future investment as stated by the IEA of US$22 trillion until 2030 into clean energy solutions.
We should also aim to deliver key messages on
1. Necessity of urgent shift in public and private sector investments for development and dissemination of LC technologies,
2. The urgent need for a global carbon market and for the financing in order to underpin the future investment in low-carbon technologies.
3. The role of government to send robust, consistent signals to private sector. Investments by private sector are much greater than public sector, and thus very important.
4. Early investments, avoiding “lock-in” is quite important, particularly in the energy sector.

• What conditions (rules, institutions, price signals) will stimulate investment for LCSs?

• How do we create the necessary incentives to drive and enhance innovation?

• What are the roles of the governments to make necessary investments happen?
