Crowdfunding the ecological transition: report of the seminar of the 27th of June

Crowdfunding ecological transitionThe seminar gathered more than 70 stakeholders of the ecological transition crowdfunding sector:

  • Crowdfunding platforms
  • Local authorities
  • Projects leaders
  • Financers
  • Researchers
  • Association directors.

Two roundtable discussions were held and dealt with major challenges to the growth and balance of the sector:

  • What incentives to go along the rise of crowdfunding for the deployment of renewable energy production ?
  • How to spread the use of crowdfunding to other sectors of the ecological transition ?

The discussions gave the stakeholders an opportunity to:

  • Explain the actions of the crowdfunding platforms, with some projects being presented to display the diversity of the legal and financial structure
  • Discuss the evolution of the regulatory framework applying to them
  • Analyze the incentive mechanisms developped by the ministère de la Transition écologique et solidaire.

The second roundtable discussion allowed to talk of the state of the sector in other european countries. The speakers also presented crowdfunding initiatives for the ecological transition beyond the sector of renewable energy production, in France and in Europe.

Presentation of the Guidebook to crowdfunding

During the seminar was also introduced the Guidebook to crowdfunding for cities and territorial development, to which I4CE contributed as a member of Financement Participatif France’s Territorial Partnership Commission.

The discussions otherwise fed I4CE’s ongoing study on incentive mechanisms for the use of crowdfunding in renewable energy production projects.

    An efficient EU Climate Adaptation Plan starts with assessing the costs

    Climate adaptation, preparedness and solidarity features prominently in the Political Guidelines for the new EU mandate, unveiled by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in July. And with good reason: infrastructures, access to water, food production, life in European cities – to name but a few – are increasingly impacted by the effects of climate change. Europe urgently needs to prepare better for the impact of climate change, was the message in the European Climate Risk Assessment published by the European Environment Agency earlier this year.

    Adapting French buildings to heatwaves: what do we know?

    To address the growing impacts of heatwaves on economic activities and populations, the adaptation of the building sector is becoming a new imperative. While the question of “how” to adapt has been the subject of numerous studies, the question of “how much” has so far received little attention. To move forward on this issue, we present in this report: an overview of current knowledge regarding the costs of adapting the building sector to heatwaves and the methodology we used to estimate the additional costs of adapting to heatwaves, based on available information and discussions with experts.

    Gearing up the reform of the international climate finance architecture

    This autumn’s busy negotiation agendas, offer a window of opportunity to move the reform of the international climate finance architecture (IFA) up one level. This acceleration is urgent if we want to keep pace with the dramatic change in scale needed to finance the climate transition.  In 2023, developed countries announced that they had – for the first time since 2009 – achieved their USD 100bn/year climate finance target to support climate action in developing countries. Just two years later, this target is already obsolete, with needs for emerging and developing economies (excluding China) estimated at around USD 2.4 trillion per year by 2030.
