Edmund's work with international agencies and financial institutions over the last seven years has helped to facilitate broader investment into clean infrastructure and renewable energy projects through the adaption of existing or design of improved risk management products and frameworks. Studies such as Financial Risk Management Instruments for Renewable Energy Projects (UNEP 2004) have won grants for long-term public-private research and development initiatives that resulted in producing new risk management products to offer lenders and project developers.
