There was no mention of a plan to reskill workers.<\/p>\n<p>Duarte urged all coal-dependent nations to get in touch. If successful, subject to support from donor countries, the programme could be extended.<\/p>\n<p>The aim, Duarte said, is to \u201caccelerate the tipping point at which it&#8217;s cheaper to build a new renewable energy power plant than maintain an existing fossil fuel plant\u201d \u2013 something that <a href=\"https:\/\/rmi.org\/financing-the-transition-from-coal-to-clean-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">still isn&#8217;t the case\u00a0in many developing countries<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/rmi.org\/financing-the-transition-from-coal-to-clean-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analysis by the Rocky Mountain Institute<\/a>, in 2020 the net cost of completing the global coal-to-clean transition would have been $128 billion, dropping to near zero by 2022 before generating net savings of more than $107bn by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>But, while in the US and Europe completing a coal phase out in 2020 already offered estimated annual net savings of around $9bn each, in China and India it would have resulted in annual net costs of $41bn and $21bn respectively, according to the study.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/subscribe\/\"><b>Want more climate news?\u00a0<\/b>Sign up to get updates straight to your inbox<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Duarte told Climate Home that, although an estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/carbontracker.org\/42-of-global-coal-power-plants-run-at-a-loss-finds-world-first-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">42% of global coal capacity is already operating at loss<\/a>, \u201cpure economics are not going to play in favour of divesting from [relatively new] coal assets in time for meeting the Paris goals\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Divesting from existing infrastructure is a lot more complex than investing in renewable energy, she added.<\/p>\n<p>To address this, CIFs will use the G7&#8217;s $2bn to de-risk private sector capital and lower investment costs to repurpose coal assets, strengthen countries\u2019 institutional capacity to manage the transition and create alternative job opportunities and social protection schemes for communities dependent on coal for their livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>Duarte said the CIFs would use the funding to demonstrate what sort of investments have the most impact when delivered at scale to accelerate a country&#8217;s coal exit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then the market picks up and private capital can scale it to the point where you are moving in the direction of solving the problem. That is the point of acceleration,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>In its statement, the G7 said the\u00a0$2bn in\u00a0funding was expected to\u00a0mobilise\u00a0$10bn in co-financing from the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>The CIFs mobilises $9.5 for every $1 of concessional funding it spends in middle-income countries, Duarte told Climate Home. Others say it&#8217;s not as much. Analysis by Joe Thwaites, of the World Resources Institute, finds the CIFs has so far\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joethw8s\/status\/1404565475909160960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">delivered $4.7 for every $1 spent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/06\/17\/internship-opportunity-launch-your-career-in-climate-journalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Internship opportunity:<\/strong> Launch your career in climate journalism<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps most importantly, the fund will aim to showcase investments and social protection measures to support communities move away from fossil-fuel jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Duarte told Climate Home there was very little research and evidence on what the transition of fossil fuel-dependent communities looks like in developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say we desperately need to do work in this area and figure out how to do this. Otherwise, I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going to succeed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The story was updated on 01\/07\/21 to add analysis on the amount of co-financing the CIFs
