How big is the Net Zero financing gap?

Decarbonizing the global economy is the greatest challenge of our times – and the biggest investment opportunity in history. For investors and policymakers, deciding where to focus requires better climate finance data. That’s why Allen & Overy, in partnership with Climate Policy Initiative, embarked on a landmark study to assess the scale of the financing needed to deliver Net Zero. Below you can explore the data, which breaks down the investment needed each year between now and 2050 across a range of technologies. You can also read our report for the full context, and view the methodology that underpins the numbers.

Climate finance has grown consistently over the last decade, but still falls far below what is needed to deliver Net Zero.

Produced in partnership with Climate Policy Initiative, our report reveals the scale of the financing required to decarbonize the world, the role of public and private organisations in delivering the goals of the Paris Agreement, and the policy and other measures that can accelerate financial flows.
