Does the 2023 budget allow the French to cope with the energy crisis? Think tanks analysis

Webinars - By : Damien DEMAILLY

A webinar was organized by IDDRI, l’OFCE et l’Institut Jacques Delors and Institute for Climate Economics I4CE on Thursday, December 14 from 12 to 1:15 pm

 

In the midst of an energy crisis, France is preparing for a winter of tension. As the French National Assembly prepares to vote on the 2023 budget bill and Europe tries to find a collective solution to this crisis, many questions remain open as to the ability to manage the economic and social emergency and the acceleration of the energy and climate transition.

 

Against this backdrop, four French think tanks have proposed a deciphering of the energy crisis and the responses provided by France’s 2023 budget and by the European Union:

 

  • When will the energy crisis end?
  • Is the tariff shield an effective response to the economic, social and ecological challenges of this crisis?
  • Between fragmented national approaches and the desire to speak with one voice: what solutions can be found to manage the energy crisis on a European scale?
  • Is the 2023 budget up to the challenge of accelerating the climate transition?

 

With:

  • Phuc-Vinh Nguyen, Researcher on French and European Energy Policies, Jacques Delors Institute;
  • Andreas Rüdinger, Coordinator on Energy Transition in France, IDDRI;
  • Xavier Timbeau, Director of OFCE;
  • Damien Demailly, Deputy Director, I4CE

    From targets to action: the climate finance agenda needs a new impetus in Belèm

    Ten years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement, what progress has been made to make financial flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development (the ambition set out in Article 2.1(c) of the Agreement)? And what is needed going forward? Although we still lack a comprehensive assessment of progress, this article draws on existing analysis of what can help align financial flows and examines the efforts made by governments and the financial sector to this end. It highlights a development in the debate towards a country-driven approach and a focus on real investment needs. It explores ways to overcome existing barriers to action despite a challenging global context. The article advocates that Article 2.1(c) should be viewed not as a stand-alone provision, but as something that requires full implementation of all the provisions of the Paris Agreement. It also calls for a shift from a target-focused to an action-focused finance agenda and discusses how the COP30 in Belém can contribute to this.

    Adapting France to +4°C: current resources, additional needs, and funding options

    Cette étude s’inscrit dans la continuité des travaux d’I4CE engagés depuis plusieurs années sur la qualification et la quantification des besoins et des moyens pour l’adaptation en France. Elle propose une vision d’ensemble de ce que l’on peut dire à date sur ces aspects, basée sur le suivi et l’analyse d’une quinzaine de domaines d’action publique concernés par le changement climatique. Alors que l’adaptation est souvent un grand oublié des PLF, ce rapport apporte des éléments sur l’effort consenti aujourd’hui, les besoins identifiés pour demain et les modalités de répartition des coûts.

    All hands on deck: Charting a course towards a clean industrial strategy

    One year ago, Mario Draghi warned that Europe was becalmed in treacherous waters. Fading competitiveness, trade disputes to east and west, and a growing political mutiny against the green transition make the way forward hard to navigate. This year, however, the EU has begun to find its bearings – guided by the Competitiveness Compass, with decarbonisation as the north star of the Clean Industrial Deal.
