Climate Change Policy and Alternative Energy Investment in 15 Countries

A client seeking to invest in international alternative energy markets wanted to understand national climate change polices in 15 countries across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and East Asia. The client engaged Ergo to forecast the impact these polices would have on the growth of alternative energy markets in each country.

Ergo designed a comprehensive climate change profile for each country, including a detailed overview of climate change policies, forecasts of policy shifts, and an assessment of short- and long-term alternative energy market opportunities. Ergo's analysis was informed by the insights of over 40 experts in each of the 15 countries, including delegates to major international climate change conventions, current and former government officials, leading journalists, analysts, and academics, and private sector alternative energy leaders.

Ergo's client gained a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between national policies and energy markets in each country, and the unique local regulations that will impact the growth of alternative energy markets. Guided by these insights, our client was able to optimize its investment strategy in order to focus on the most promising areas of potential growth.
