SEFI is a joint programme of the UNEP Renewable Energy and Finance Unit and the UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), both part of UNEP's Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (DTIE), and BASE (Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy), a UNEP Collaborating Centre.
SEFI is modelled in part on the successful UNEP FI initiative as a means to provide sustainable energy financiers with the tools, support, and networks to drive the cycle of financial innovation focused on a greening of the energy mix.
SEFI is governed by a committee of representatives from the three UNEP groups and an Advisory Board made up of finance practitioners representing the corporate finance, private equity, insurance, and export credit sectors. This collective approach offers a distinct advantage over individual activity, due not only to the convening power of UNEP, but to the effectiveness of the global reach and knowledge of the players ? creating efficiencies in information input, generating innovative solutions, communicating successes, and generally promoting, facilitating, and supporting increased investment in clean energy.
UNEP Renewable Energy and Finance Unit (REFU)
UNEP Energy Branch addresses the environmental consequences of energy production and use, such as global climate change and local air pollution. Within the Energy Branch REFU is responsible for programmes that support the clean energy project development and investor communities.
