Public and private investments—from governments, multilateral banks, private sector investors, philanthropies, and long-term investors— and new financial products will need to be deployed to accelerate the retirement or repurposing of coal-fired plants through refinancing, acquisition or sustainability linked corporate loans and scale up investment in clean energy and energy storage.
