Indexing capital requirements on climate : What impacts can be expected ?

- By : Julie EVAIN

Monday 18th October from 9am to 10am

Increasing the contribution of banks is the major issue that I4CE proposes to address in a study published in September 2021.

 

The objective is to overcome the classic opposition between the supporters of a Green Supporting Factor (for prudential relief due to the lower risk of green assets) and of a Penalizing Factor (to penalize activities that emit high CO2 levels because they are more exposed to transition risks).

 

By determining the impacts of these two approaches on project financing, on the internal profitability of banks, and on credit growth or contraction, I4CE demonstrates that prudential tools are perhaps a response to a risk problem, but they do not sufficiently respond to the challenges of the transition. Apart from the scheduled exit from fossil fuel activities for which a strong and localized penalizing factor may be possible, the other impacts on the transition of these devices are negligible or even counterproductive.

 

Moderation by :

 

  • Pauline Becquey, Managing Director of Finance for Tomorrow, will moderate this exchange;
  • Julie Evain, Reserach fellows, I4CE, will present the highlights of the study;
  • Pierre Monnin, Senior Fellow, Council on Economic Policies, will then react.

 

A question / answer period was planned for the second part of the webinar.This webinar was held in English.

    Public Spending in the French Food System: What Contributions to Ecological Transition?

    La transition écologique du système alimentaire pose de nombreuses et épineuses questions de financement : combien ça coûte ? qui doit payer ? les financements existants y contribuent-ils ? C’est à cette dernière question que ce rapport apporte des éléments de réponse. Dans ce rapport, nous réalisons un recensement aussi exhaustif que possible des soutiens publics au système alimentaire français en 2018, 2021 et 2024. Nous analysons la contribution théorique de ces financements à la définition de la transition écologique des pouvoirs publics.

    Climate: The data driving budget debates in France. Public spending today and tomorrow

    Every year, the start of the budget debate in France is an opportunity to ask a number of questions: How much is public spending on climate? What is this money spent on? Which actors, both public and private, are on the receiving end? And above all: how should this spending develop in the future? Many numbers have been produced in France over the last few years and it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. This is why we wrote this handbook. We have gathered the information that we consider most important and tried to highlight what we know, what we do not yet know, and the key debates in France that politicians will have to hold and where they will have to quickly find compromises.

    The climate transition and local public investment capacity

    Europe’s local authorities have a crucial role to play in meeting the EU’s objective for climate neutrality in 2050 and the critical milestones for emission reductions in 2030. They manage important building stocks and transport networks, develop climate strategies, action and investment plans, while engaging stakeholders and citizens in the climate transition. Turning climate policy ambition into reality, local authorities are responsible for implementing a lot of EU’s Green Deal legislative measures. The EU’s high-profile Mission for 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 recognises this central role with a pledge for leading cities to trace a fast track towards a climate neutral urban future for others to follow.
