BASE develops forward-looking mechanisms to accelerate the financing of sustainable energy markets, with the ultimate aim of contributing to climate change and poverty mitigation, conflict prevention and sustainable development globally.

The world needs significant investment to cover the growing demand for energy. In the interest of the global climate, the local environment, and energy security, investment in energy must be steered towards energy options with less carbon, less fuel and fuel-price risk, and more and better access for the poor. The business and finance sectors have a key role to play in promoting the shift to a sustainable energy future. BASE provides information, develops tools, and builds networks with the goal of increasing investment in sustainable energy. BASE is a Collaborating Centre of the United Nations Environment Programme.
