Direct Investment in clean energy by nations and other entities will dramatically speed up the green energy transition. These investments can come in many forms. For example, a nation could provide funding for the rollout of existing clean technologies, or for the research and development of new or more efficient technologies. States can also provide tax-based incentives or other support to encourage private investment in new clean energy infrastructure, or give subsidies, tax credits and other support to individuals who are advancing the green transition by installing solar panels, green heating, or insulation in their homes, for example. Such investments should be encouraged, as they allow us to transition away from fossil fuels faster than we otherwise would.
