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.

    Public climate investment: there is no “magic” money but there is room for manoeuvre

    The recent election campaign in France didn’t give priority to the climate and environment. However, taking climate action is still widely supported by the French voters and most decision-makers. But a mandate to act is not enough. To make up for the current shortfall in climate investment, we need a solid consensus on the financial resources to be deployed to the climate transition in the long term. Today, these resources come partly from public budgets. And it is not a secret that the public contribution probably will have to increase in the future.

    The Climate Investment Challenge behind the European Prosperity Plan

    Ursula Von der Leyen’s competitiveness agenda is grabbing headlines – but the hard work of climate implementation and investment is only just beginning. In this blog, Ciaran Humphreys and Dorthe Nielsen outline the challenges this era of implementation poses, and how to align climate ambition with the President’s economic vision.  Ursula Von der Leyen has been re-elected as Commission President – and by a wider margin than expected. Before the vote, she set out her political priorities for the next EU mandate. Her vision focused on themes of security, economic competitiveness, and enlargement – unsurprisingly so at a time when the EU is increasingly concerned about its place in the world.

    Financing the climate transition in France: what room for manœuvre on public funding needs?

    France is facing a climate investment deficit relative to its climate objectives. Today, these investment are already putting a strain on public finances, whether in terms of investing in public facilities or co-financing projects by households and business. Increasing climate investments is therefore a challenge for public finances. But the scale of the challenge varies, depending on future policies. So what room for manoeuvre is there in terms of climate-related public spending needs?
