A decade of commitment to advancing economic policies for the climate
This year marks an important milestone for I4CE: we are celebrating our 10-year anniversary. Setting sails the year the Paris Agreement was adopted, our mission was clear from the outset: to promote effective, efficient and fair policies for the climate transition.
Since then, we have focused our economic analysis on public policies with an emphasis on assessing the investment needs and policy options for the transition. Our ambition has been to advance the public debate on climate with facts and figures, promoting long-term investment plans as an essential tool to turn political ambitions into reality. Over the years, we have applied this approach to a growing number of policy areas and expanded our geographical scope from France to Europe and internationally.
We mark our first decade in a geo-political context that has changed dramatically since 2015. The impact on the ambition for and progress on the climate transition is clear. At the same time, the devastating effects of climate change are increasingly present. In challenging times, it is even more necessary to continue to inform the public debate about what climate transition means for people, business and different sectors. It is equally necessary to shed light on the conditions to achieve the transition, including the public policy mix and investments.
Over the past 10 years, we have continuously reinforced our expertise, aiming to increase the policy relevance of our work, making data and analysis available to inform policy choices. We have developed collaborations across all levels of governance, established a solid network of like-minded organisations and grown trust in our relationships with decision-makers. We have taken note of the impact of our flagship initiatives on the public debate, including on climate investment needs and the costs of adaptation.
It is on this strong basis that we remain fully committed to shaping the pathways for investments in climate transition ahead. Thanks to all our partners and our growing readership here for the interest and support.
