This document summarizes the Global Cleantech Innovation Index 2017 report from WWF and Cleantech Group. It includes sector distributions of green bonds and venture funding. Country profiles are provided for 40 countries, comparing general innovation drivers and cleantech-specific metrics for inputs like policy support and outputs like exports. Countries are categorized into archetypes based on their performance as ecosystem creators, start-up generators, or commercializers. The index methodology considers factors like R&D investment, entrepreneurship, policy support, financing, patents, and jobs. An interactive microsite is available to explore the data.
