The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) countries reduced public fossil fuel financing by 80% by 2025 but have redirected less than half of these funds to clean energy, mainly benefiting advanced economies rather than developing ones. Export credit agencies remain significant sources of fossil fuel finance, and the United States' exit from CETP saw its fossil fuel financing sharply increase, highlighting risks of reversing commitments.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Governments sharply cutting fossil fuel finance but failing to redirect enough funds to clean energy means you face a financing gap to develop projects, especially in emerging markets. Look for opportunities to plug this funding void or target advanced economies where clean energy finance concentrates.
