China, Germany and the UK have the most stable and consistent clean energy policies, a boon for investors seeking jurisdictions with the least amount of uncertainty, according to a report by Deutsche Bank Climate Change Advisors.
The three countries rank best-in-class in terms of the transparency, longevity and certainty of their climate policies, according to the consulting firm’s global climate change policy tracker. All three countries have favourable and consistent policies to control emissions, such as binding or accountable emissions targets, renewable electricity standards and long-term energy efficiency plans. They also have strong financial support mechanisms such as feed-in tariffs and green banks to facilitate funding for clean energy projects.
