@AsmundAukrust had a meeting with @norfund. Norfund invests where capital is scarce and risk is high, demonstrating that profitable investments are possible in challenging markets. We need more private sector actors to see the investment opportunities in developing countries.

Norway is one of the biggest investors in renewable energy in South Africa. Today I met Norwegian companies working for a greener South Africa. For scale, we also need to get the transmission systems up to speed. @Norfund @ScatecASA @MainstreamRP @RystadEnergy @EmpowerNEnergy

Flyter kapital automatisk dit det er muligheter for avkastning? - Norfunds erfaring er at reell og opplevd risiko gjør at investorer holder seg unna utviklingsland, selv om mulighetene for avkastning er gode, skriver vi i Aftenposten.

Notatet fra @Civita_ inneholder et konkret forslag til hvordan klimapengene kan brukes på en effektiv og lønnsom måte, påpeker vi i svar til lørdagens DN-leder. https://t.co/oIciCtmWSd

DN advarer på lederplass lørdag mot Civitas forslag om en kraftig oppskalering av klimafinansiering, som avisen mener fort kan «bli en oppskrift på bortkastede penger».

- Firmaet reduserer utslipp, det forbedrer klimaet, og det skaper arbeidsplasser. At Norfund støtter dette er helt riktig, sier @EspenBarthEide, om investeringen i elbusser i Nairobi.

Kenya satser stort på grønn mobilitet og Norge er med på laget med store investeringer. Utenriksministeren var nylig i Nairobi og besøkte selskapet BasiGo, som vil bytte ut byens dieseldrevne kollektivtransport med elbusser.
