In 2015, global investment in renewables grew about 5 percent relative to the previous year and reached an all-time high of US$ 286 billion (bn). And there are more interesting trends: Investment in renewables’ based electricity generation capacity in 2015 has been more than double the investment in the major fossil fuels (renewables: US$ 266 bn versus US$ 130 bn for coal and gas stations). This also leads to added capacity in terms of Gigawatts in 2015 in renewables (134 GW) outstripping all other technologies combined (conventional coal, gas, and nuclear).

The Allianz Climate and Energy Monitor ranks G20 member states on their attractiveness as potential destinations for investment in low-carbon electricity infrastructure. It takes into account their current and future investment needs in line with a 2° C global warming trajectory. Consistency with the Paris Agreement, negotiated by 195 countries at the end of 2015, would require a full decarbonization of the global economy before the end of the century. This transformation will be particularly challenging for the energy sector – the largest source of carbon emissions.

This working paper analyses the first set of clean technology investment plans from Egypt, Mexico and Turkey and makes the case for greater emphasis on institutional capacity and governance in measuring programme results. It notes that the Climate Investment Funds (CIFs), which are administered by the World Bank Group, include a Clean Technology Fund (CTF) and a Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) that support several lines of programming.

This article describes the use of a distributed hydrologic model to evaluate different data scenarios. The study attempted to answer questions such as; what will happen to the basin water resources if:
a) there is a change in climate?
b) it is decided that more water must be retained in the river for environmental reasons?
c) more water is extracted for urban and industrial use? or if;
d) the timing and accounts used for water are changed?

The development objective of the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Energy Efficiency Project for Turkey is to improve the efficiency of energy use in small and medium enterprises, by scaling-up commercial bank lending for energy efficiency investments. The global environmental objective is to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions through the removal of barriers to energy efficiency financing in the SMEs sector. There are two components to the project.

The objective of the Private Sector Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Project is to help increase privately owned and operated energy production from indigenous renewable sources within the market-based framework of the Turkish Electricity Market Law, enhance energy efficiency, and thereby help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This project paper seeks the approval of the Executive Directors of the World Bank to provide an additional loan in the amount of US$500 million equivalent to Turkiye S?nai Kalk?nma Bankas? (TSKB) and to Turkiye Kalk?nma Bankas?

The effects of climate change on the overall economy necessitate taking into account backward and forward linkages of agriculture; however, the number of studies that relate climate change to agricultural production in Turkey through a sector or economy wide model is limited. The main research question of this study is quantifying the effects of climate change on agricultural sector and regional economy by taking into account the interregional interactions and dynamics of the adjustment to the new equilibrium under well-established climate scenarios for Turkey.
