About

Climatescope is an online market assessment tool, report and index that evaluates the relative readiness of individual nations to put energy transition investment to work effectively. It provides snapshots of current clean energy policy and finance conditions that can lead to future capital deployment and project development.

2022 marks the 11th year BloombergNEF has produced Climatescope. Over that time, the project has significantly evolved and now includes detailed information on 136 markets globally, including 107 emerging markets and 29 developed nations. While Climatescope has historically focused on just the power sector, in 2021 it has been expanded to include in-depth data on investment conditions for lower-carbon transportation and buildings.

Climatescope encompasses nearly every nation in the world with over 2 million inhabitants. Developed markets are defined as OECD countries minus Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Turkey. These five are part of the OECD but remain attractive emerging markets for clean energy development. Developing markets include all non-OECD nations, plus these five countries.

This report summarizes the power-sector research undertaken by over 40 BNEF analysts compiling detailed data on Climatescope markets. It is the first of three Climatescope reports BNEF will produce with the next two focused on the transport and buildings sectors. Readers are encouraged to explore complete rankings, datasets, tools and country profiles on the Climatescope website to leverage fully this deep-dive into how the countries surveyed are driving the energy transition.
