Developing nations represent a large and rapidly growing share of the world’s clean energy investment, according to Climatescope 2014.  Climatescope, a country-by-country assessment, interactive report and index, offers the clearest picture yet of clean energy in 55 emerging markets in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean. The findings show clean energy capacity added in these nations grew at a faster pace than in developed countries, more than doubling in the past five years and totalling 142 GW (more than France’s current capacity). The study also suggests renewable technologies can be just as cost-competitive in emerging parts of the world as they are in richer nations. Climatescope is a landmark study released by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, with the support of the Inter-American Develo pment Bank Group, the UK Department for International Development, and the US Agency for International Development.
