International Climate Finance Day – On the road to COP21

A few months ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, the question of the trillions of dollars that will be required to limit Global Warming to 2 degrees is more pressing now than ever.

 

A growing number of private financial operators throughout the world are getting involved in order to redirect capital towards a low-carbon and resilient growth. The United Nations Climate Summit that was held in New York on September 23, 2014 demonstrated the extent of their commitments.

 

May 22nd, 2015 – UNESCO Headquarters, Paris, France During the Paris Climate Week

 

To address the specific challenges and issues related to the “positive agenda”, financial operators will gather on May 22nd at UNESCO headquarters to showcase solutions, review current debates, highlight successful policies, and make commitments toward the goal of supporting the necessary transitions in the economy through the implementation of responsible investment approaches.

 

This concerns not only climate finance in the developed countries, but also finance for a green and low carbon development.

 

How to reduce financing for a high carbon economy, and conversely, how to encourage green investment?

 

Financial solutions exist. New concepts and scalable solutions are available now that will enable a more accurate assessment of the risks and opportunities inherent to the decisions to be made, and provide financial instruments to support those decisions.

 

Pioneering investors are altering the composition of their portfolios. Banks, insurers and the broader financial industry are designing new tools. National governments have introduced innovative political and regulatory frameworks.

 

The Climate Finance Day will bring together major players in these areas to foster communication, collaboration and the adoption of forward-looking strategies for a fast-changing world.

    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.

    2030 and Beyond: Budgeting Europe’s Climate Transition

    The next long term EU budget will take us through the 2030 goal posts, by when GHG emissions should be down by 55%. It will also lay the groundwork for investing in a climate-neutral future for the continent towards the yet-to-be agreed objectives for 2040. So, when the European Commission presented its proposal for a €2 trillion multiannual financial framework (MFF) just before the summer break, there was good reason to carefully study the details from the perspective of closing the EU’s climate investment deficit.
