Un marché aux idées avec la facilité Adapt'Action de l'AFD. L'adaptation est souvent présentée comme un flux Nord-Sud de capacités (financement, ressources humaines, connaissances) dans le cadre de l'aide au développement. Et en effet, des efforts sont encore nécessaires pour respecter les engagements financiers pris dans le cadre des COP et combler le déficit l’adaptation. Cependant, les pays du Sud, en première ligne face aux impacts du changement climatique, avancent déjà vers une meilleure préparation et sont souvent en avance dans leur appropriation du sujet.  

Le rapport sur l'écart entre les besoins et les perspectives en matière d'adaptation aux changements climatiques est le baromètre annuel de référence sur les ressources nécessaires et effectivement mobilisées pour l’adaptation dans le monde. Cette question, longtemps uniquement posée dans les pays en développement s’affirme aussi comme un enjeu critique dans les pays de l’OCDE. 

The race to climate neutrality is in full swing. The leading economic blocs across the globe implement wide ranging industrial policies to support and scale cleantech industries having understood their importance to create quality jobs, ensure prosperity and guarantee a higher degree of technological sovereignty.

The Finance in Common Summit in September will be an opportunity to focus more specifically on the role of national public financial institutions in the new global financial architecture, which is currently being thoroughly discussed. National public financial institutions represent the largest amount of public development finance and account for 12% of global (public and private) investments. They will have an important role to play in locally financing the transition and contributing to shape demand, as infrastructure investors, private finance mobilisers and investment innovators. Additionally, they can influence local market practice and disseminate alignment practices. 

This workshop is an activity of the European Union Climate Dialogues (EUCDs) project, aiming to provide a space to discuss country practices regarding the use of revenues from carbon pricing mechanisms, with a focus on the role of transparency and communication in ensuring buy-in for the carbon pricing policy. Inputs of this workshop will contribute to an EU-funded study being carried out by the Institute for Climate Economics (I4CE), which aims to enlarge and enhance the understanding of existing approaches on the use of revenues from carbon pricing mechanisms and support a switch to a comprehensive perspective on the implementation of decarbonization pathways that integrates carbon revenues.

In 2022, a global consensus was reached on the need to reform the global financial architecture, considered no longer “fit for purpose”. While most discussions focus on how to reform development finance institutions (DFIs), too little attention is paid to the concrete needs of developing countries and what the transition to low-carbon and resilient economies means for them.  

In 2022, a global consensus was reached on the need to reform the global financial architecture, considered no longer “fit for purpose”. 2023 will be busy with many events organised to address different parts of the financial architecture reform agenda. The Spring Meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund represent the first key milestone in this agenda.

A webinar 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.

The Green Finance Research Advances is an International Research Conference for academics and professionals, co-organized by Banque de France and the Institut Louis Bachelier, with the participation of Finance for Tomorrow and the Institute for Climate Economics-I4CE.

The Paris Agreement enacted two complementary dynamics for an ambitious action on climate, consistent with the aim of keeping global warming well below 2DC and towards 1.5DC by the end of the century. On the one hand, according to a bottom-up approach, the mitigation and adaptation commitments as well as the policies deployed in this respect fall to the national governments, who bear the responsibility to submit their national contributions to the global effort and to define the actions they intend to engage to achieve their objectives. On the other hand, non-state actors, notably companies, have been officially recognized for the first time within the framework of international negotiations, have significantly contributed to the construction of a favorable dynamic and have voluntarily taken more and more decarbonisation commitments.

The transition to a low-carbon and resilient economy requires such significant structural shifts that there is a general consensus on the need to develop transition plans at all governance levels.   Indeed, since 2021, the concept of transition plans has finally become the essential concept for both state- and non-state actors to address the challenges of decarbonization : governments, corporates, financial institutions have embarked on the development of plans to organize and facilitate the transition “on the ground”.  

Governments have a key role to play in transforming the Paris Agreement and SDG targets into credible, legally binding domestic targets, strategies, and policies. Specifically, governments need to put in place policies and regulatory frameworks which are conducive to climate investments, i.e. investments that are needed for countries to structurally transform their economies in order to achieve the net zero global objective. National transformations then need to be championed by private actors and non-governmental institutions.  

      This online event discussed the role of civil society organizations – CSOs in implementing green budgeting tools in the European context.     Green budgeting helps to assess the consistency of public spending with country’s environmental and climate targets, it improves the transparency of government action for parliamentarians, civil society and citizens.
