Webinar I Landscape of climate finance: From supporting recovery globally to recent advances in the CEE region

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.

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.  

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.
