Investment in sustainable energies will enable faster economic growth, create more jobs and cleaner cities, and help reduce the effects of climate change. Investments and innovations in sustainable energy are still early, and efforts to accelerate these transformations are often restricted by the high costs of large-scale infrastructure.
