Heading towards the 2015 Paris international Climate Conference (COP21), CDC Climat Research, in partnership with ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, publishes a ClimasCOPe # 2 aiming to shed some light on the challenges of international climate negotiations.

ClimasCOPe # 2 is focused on the financing of the low-carbon transition. After an editorial titled « Financing the low-carbon transition : the need for coherence between regulations and ambition », CDC Climat Research experts analyze the issue of financing as a cornerstone in the Paris Climate 2015 agreement, last steps in international climate negotiations and key initiatives of Climate Finance developed in the world.

French Observatory of access conditions to the ecological transition for households, 2025 Edition

In this year’s edition, we assess these indicators retrospectively—over the past ten years for deep energy retrofits, and over the past five for electric mobility—to identify factors that have improved or worsened economic accessibility to transition solutions in recent years.

The unlocked potential of carbon revenues to help fill the climate finance gap

Climate negotiations are taking place next week in Bonn, with finance once again high on the agenda. COP 29 ended last year with a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) –revised climate finance target to replace the USD 100 billion goal. The NCQG decision put forward a commitment by developed countries to lead in providing USD 300 billion per year by 2035 for developing countries, as well as a proposal to work on a roadmap to scale up climate finance for developing countries to reach a level closer to the estimated needs –the ‘Baku to Belem Roadmap to 1.3T’ (USD 1.3 trillion). The latter must be delivered at the end of the year at COP 30, and strong efforts are being put in the task by the Brazilian Presidency.
