Based on econometric analysis, it assesses the impacts of climate mitigation policies and the quality of the investment environment on both investment and patenting activity in renewable-power generation since 2000. The analysis also assesses how the investment environment and related policy misalignments influence the effect of climate mitigation policies in encouraging renewables investment and innovation.
