The Economics of climate innovation: technology, climate policy, and the clean energy transition

Eugenie Dugoua and Jacob Moscona

CEP Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: We examine the economics of climate innovation and its role in the clean technology transition. It outlines the incentives, market failures, and policy levers that shape the development and diffusion of clean technologies; traces global patterns in technology development and deployment; and highlights frontier challenges and open questions related to climate adaptation, critical mineral supply chains, artificial intelligence, and geopolitics. The analysis explores the role of effective climate policy, stressing the relevance of coordinated approaches that match instruments to technology maturity and local context.
