Financing the Energy Transition in Latin America and the Caribbean: An Incomplete Puzzle – Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA

In keeping with the IEA,^[xiv] the LAC area (excluding Mexico) is more likely to safe about $50 billion in clear vitality investments in 2023,^[xv] a 12 % decline in comparison with 2022. Furthermore, LAC represented solely 2 % of personal vitality transition investments in 2022.^[xvi]

The anticipated decline in clear vitality investments in 2023 in LAC just isn’t a results of a lot bigger investments in fossil fuels. In truth, clear vitality investments have been greater than 1.5 instances bigger than upstream oil and gasoline investments since 2020 (Determine 1). Latin America is attracting much less funding in its vitality sector as an entire, with its share of worldwide vitality funding additionally declining.[xvii]

These funding tendencies in LAC’s vitality sector appear misaligned with the area’s growing funding wants for the vitality transition. A greater understanding of the dimensions of investments required might assist policymakers map and slender the hole.

Estimates of annual investments required for LAC’s vitality transition differ enormously (Determine 2 and Appendix, Desk A-1), starting from the United Nations Framework Conference on Local weather Change’s (UNFCCC) $20 billion^[xviii] to McKinsey & Firm’s $700 billion.^[xix] They differ when it comes to scope (relevant sectors), coverage or vitality transition state of affairs, and goal (whether or not funding is geared solely to mitigation targets or each to mitigation and adaptation targets):

• Scope: Some estimates replicate the funding wanted to decarbonize the facility sector, whereas others embody all vitality programs and finish makes use of. Nonetheless different estimates rely funding wanted to decarbonize different sectors within the financial system past vitality. These estimates additionally differ on whether or not they embody funding within the oil and gasoline sector in the course of the transition. 
• Coverage or vitality transition state of affairs: Estimates of LAC’s funding wants will not be all based mostly on the identical emissions discount state of affairs. Some take into account funding wants underneath a net-zero emissions (NZE) state of affairs, in step with retaining the rise in temperature to 1.5°C by 2050; others take a look at funding underneath different decarbonization eventualities that restrict temperature rise to nicely underneath 2°C by 2050. Some are based mostly on estimates of funding wants by 2030 from nations’ NDCs, which might not be aligned with NZE.
• Objective: Whereas estimates in regards to the decarbonization of the vitality sector are inclined to look solely at funding wants for mitigation tied to the vitality sector and finish makes use of, others additionally embody funding related to adapting the area’s infrastructure to the impacts of local weather change.

Word: Some estimates are reported as annual funding necessities, whereas others as cumulative investments as much as 2030 or 2050; cumulative funding estimates have been annualized in response to the authors’ estimates of the variety of corresponding years. This isn’t an exhaustive evaluation of the underlying methodologies of every of those estimates. The Cardenas et al. examine analyzes the six largest economies of the area; all different estimates cowl the whole LAC area. See Appendix, Desk A-1 for extra data.

Supply: Authors’ evaluation based mostly on Brichetti et al. (Inter-American Improvement Financial institution [IADB]); Cardenas et al.; United Nations Financial Fee for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC); Worldwide Power Company (IEA), 2021 and 2023; Worldwide Financial Fund (IMF); Worldwide Renewable Power Company (IRENA), 2020 and 2022; McKinsey & Firm;Paredes (IADB); and United Nations Framework Conference on Local weather Change (UNFCCC). See endnote 20 for full reference data.[xx]

Decarbonizing the Energy Sector: Obligatory however Not Enough

The vitality sector is chargeable for about three-fourths of all international greenhouse gasoline (GHG) emissions.^[xxi] For this reason decarbonizing the world’s vitality sector occupies a giant place in discussions about local weather motion. However in Latin America, the vitality sector accounts for under 55 % of the area’s GHG emissions, with the facility sector accounting for about 20 % of LAC’s emissions within the vitality sector.^[xxii]

Within the LAC area, renewable vitality sources already characterize, on common, about 60 % of the facility combine (in comparison with about 30 % globally^[xxiii]), with hydroelectricity making up about 40 % of the area’s whole technology capability.^[xxiv] Subsequently, estimates that target funding wanted to cut back emissions within the energy sector, like these from the UN Financial Fee for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC),^[xxv] Brichetti et al. (Inter-American Improvement Financial institution [IADB]), and Paredes (IADB),^[xxvi] arrive at decrease estimates than these of the IEA^[xxvii] or the Worldwide Renewable Power Company (IRENA) (2020) that take into account the decarbonization of vitality programs, together with finish makes use of (see Desk A-1 within the appendix).^[xxviii]

Brichetti et al. (IADB) estimate funding wants in LAC’s energy sector to be 0.8 % of GDP yearly (near $600 billion a yr between 2020 and 2030) to be aligned with energy-related sustainable growth targets. These targets search to make sure common entry to reasonably priced, dependable, and sustainable trendy vitality.[xxix] Even so, these investments may not essentially align with Paris decarbonization targets. One other IADB examine (Paredes 2017) estimates funding wants of $61 billion to $62 billion per yr to decarbonize LAC’s energy sector in order that the share of renewables will increase from 60 % to 70–80 % by 2030.^[xxx] This estimate accounts for demand tendencies of virtually 4 % per yr, or a 76 % cumulative demand enhance within the 2016–30 interval, together with the said funding plans of LAC nations for will increase in technology capability.^[xxxi] An estimate by ECLAC based mostly on IADB research estimates related annual funding wants, which might characterize about 1 % of LAC’s GDP.^[xxxii] A extra aggressive decarbonization state of affairs—in step with NZE for the facility sector—is introduced by IRENA (2022), with estimates of greater than $80 billion in annual investments for LAC within the 2021–50 interval.^[xxxiii]

The IEA (2021, 2023) and IRENA (2020) not solely take into account funding wants for reworking energy technology into renewables and scaling networks and grids, but additionally incorporate the decarbonization of finish makes use of reminiscent of transportation, heavy business, and heating. Accounting for funding wants past the facility sector is especially related for LAC, as a result of the transportation sector is chargeable for 40 % of CO₂ emissions within the vitality sector, and CO₂ emissions from the commercial sector are comparable with these of energy technology.^[xxxiv]

Whereas IRENA’s (2020) funding estimate for LAC of $124 billion yearly (2017–50) and IEA’s (2021) estimate of $190 billion yearly (2026–30) will not be aligned with NZE, they do align with Paris Settlement–based mostly decarbonization eventualities in step with limiting the rise in international temperatures to nicely under 2°C by 2050 (see Desk A-1).^[xxxv] One of many foremost variations between IRENA (2020) and IEA (2021) is that the latter considers investments in fossil fuels for an orderly transition, not simply renewable vitality sources. A more moderen estimate by the IEA (2023) that appears solely at investments in clear vitality in EMDEs for a transition to NZE places funding wants within the area at greater than $240 billion per yr within the 2026–30 interval, rising to greater than $330 billion per yr within the 2031–35 interval for a mean of $288 billion within the 2026–35 interval.[xxxvi] To fulfill this required degree of funding in clear vitality in LAC, present funding would want to extend by an element of virtually 5 from its 2022 degree of $66 billion.[xxxvii] 

McKinsey’s $700 billion annual funding wants for LAC (2021–50) is by far the most important estimate, equal to 9 % of the area’s GDP. McKinsey estimates that LAC might want to safe about 9 % of worldwide vitality transition investments to be according to NZE targets.^[xxxviii] What units McKinsey’s projection aside from others is that it not solely incorporates funding wanted for the vitality transition in each the vitality sector and its finish makes use of (together with the oil and gasoline sector), but additionally in agriculture, forestry, and different land use (AFOLU). The latter is a a lot bigger supply of emissions in LAC than in most different areas.

Counting Local weather Pledges

A few of the estimates reviewed listed here are based mostly on LAC nations’ NDCs, which sort out funding wants for decarbonization in all sectors, together with business and AFOLU, not simply vitality and its finish makes use of.

That is the case for the investments portrayed by the UNFCCC’s Standing Committee on Finance (SCF), which in its 2021 report identifies cumulative funding wants for LAC of $168 billion for 2020–30,^[xxxix] or lower than $20 billion yearly (see Desk A-1). If the NDCs sort out decarbonization efforts in all sectors, not solely these particular to the vitality sector, why are the funding wants proven by the UNFCCC dramatically decrease than all others?

As a result of the UNFCCC’s SCF report (2021) displays nations’ personal NDCs, it consists of solely funding wants explicitly estimated by governments. In keeping with the UNFCCC, solely 22 % of the expressed wants in LAC’s NDCs have monetary data (i.e., are costed); the remaining 78 % haven’t any official value estimates.^[xl] As a comparability, African states have been in a position to present monetary data for about 57 % of wants expressed of their NDCs, resulting in required funding ranges of $2.5 trillion in whole, or about $270 billion yearly (Desk 1). 

Lack of monetary data within the area’s NDCs could also be making it harder to mobilize local weather finance—and thus meet local weather pledges. Uncertainty about monetary wants prevents governments from understanding the extent of the hole between present and required investments, and will hamper the design of insurance policies to raised mobilize financing to shut these gaps. International locations have the prerogative to distinguish emission reductions which might be contingent on securing financing and people which might be unconditional.^[xli] This differentiation underscores the significance of governments clearly itemizing their financing wants: enumerating wants can assist nations and funders carve a path to reaching minimal local weather targets and perceive the exterior funding necessities for extra formidable ones. Working towards these greater contingent targets is especially related as a result of a variety of LAC nations’ local weather pledges will not be aligned with NZE: of the 33 LAC nations, solely 13 have integrated net-zero pledges into coverage paperwork or laws.^[xlii]

A report by the Unbiased Affiliation of Latin America and the Caribbean (AILAC) presents an attention-grabbing instance of the magnitude of LAC governments’ potential underestimations of the monetary prices of their local weather commitments. AILAC is a negotiating bloc of solely eight nations (Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Peru) that make up about 21 % of LAC’s regional GDP. AILAC estimated annual monetary wants linked to their NDCs at $304 billion to 2030, or about $30 billion per yr in the course of the 2020–30 interval.^[xliii] 

Equally, a examine by Cardenas and Orozco (2022) based mostly on NDCs projected to 2050 positioned the funding wants for decarbonization at a mean of 6 % of GDP, or about $240 billion to $300 billion per yr for the six largest nations in Latin America.^[xliv] Nonetheless, even this substantial estimate for only a portion of the area doesn’t embody investments required for adaptation related to local weather change.

A Lacking Piece: Together with Adaptation

Some organizations have began to supply estimates of EMDEs’ infrastructure funding wants for local weather change mitigation and adaptation. For instance, in its International Monetary Stability Report, the Worldwide Financial Fund (IMF) estimates the financing hole in mitigation and adaptation in EMDEs,^[xlv] projecting the entire degree of funding for LAC at about $300 billion per yr, or 4.5 % of GDP yearly.^[xlvi] Whereas the IMF estimates that nearly 80 % of LAC’s funding wants are for mitigation (together with vitality infrastructure and transportation), about $60 billion to $70 billion per yr is assumed to be for adaptation, focusing on water, sanitation, irrigation, and flood safety.

If mobilizing financing for the vitality transition is difficult in EMDEs, it’s much more troublesome with regards to financing adaptation. In its 2022 Adaptation Hole Report, the UN estimates that adaptation finance needs to be scaled 5 to 10 instances from present (2022) ranges to fulfill funding wants in EMDEs.^[xlvii] Adaptation is an space the place non-public sector financing continues to be very restricted: in Latin America, the non-public sector represented solely about 10 % of whole financing for adaptation wants in 2020, in comparison with 60 % for mitigation.^[xlviii] 

One supply of uncertainty about adaptation is related to the tempo of future emission discount eventualities.^[xlix] The slower the vitality transition, the higher the funding required for adaptation. Cognizant of this dynamic, AILAC’s report estimates annual financing wants for adaptation surpassing these for mitigation in 2030–50.^[l] Adaptation can be an space the place LAC nations have but to comprehensively quantify their funding wants of their NDCs and associated paperwork.[li]

Conclusion: Measuring Financing Wants of the Power Transition as a First Step to Assembly Them

Estimates of the funding wants for LAC’s vitality transition differ when it comes to the sectors they cowl (energy sector, vitality programs and finish makes use of, vitality and agriculture), the decarbonization targets they help (alignment with NDCs, NZE eventualities, or others), and the aim of funding (mitigation and/or adaptation), however all of them level to appreciable funding wants within the coming a long time.

Noteworthy, nevertheless, is the distinction between the funding wants enumerated in LAC’s NDCs and all different funding estimates. This discrepancy means that an instantaneous problem for LAC governments could also be reconciling their local weather targets with a transparent understanding of the funding wants related to them, together with accounting for wants related to vitality transition plans and adaptation. A greater understanding of the funding wants related to local weather pledges might assist governments not solely measure the monetary obstacles to reaching their vitality transition and local weather targets, but additionally mobilize financing extra successfully. 

Appendix

Word: This survey of funding estimates for LAC’s vitality transition just isn’t an exhaustive evaluation of the underlying methodologies behind their calculations, together with how modifications in the price of capital or the price of clear vitality applied sciences, which could evolve over time, would affect these estimates. Whereas all of those estimates are for the LAC area understood because the 33 nations that comprise Latin America and the Caribbean, “regional focus” defines whether or not these LAC estimates have been a part of a world evaluation of funding wants, whether or not it solely took under consideration EMDEs, or whether or not it was particular to LAC. Solely Cardenas et al. give attention to particular nations within the area. “Cumulative” presentation refers to funding estimates introduced as a complete sum for a given time frame and never as annual funding per yr. As a result of not all funding estimates thought-about the identical time horizon, they’re all expressed right here when it comes to annual investments to make them comparable.
