I4CE in charge of the Secretariat of the “Climate Action in Financial Institutions” Initiative

26 June 2017 - Blog post - By : Alice PAUTHIER / Ian COCHRAN, Phd

On the sidelines of COP21, public and private financial institutions around the globe adopted 5 Voluntary Principles for “mainstreaming” climate change. The Initiative now renamed Climate Action in Financial Institutions gathers as of June 2017 30 financial institutions. It represents for them an opportunity to learn from each other, to disseminate good practice and lessons learned and to collaborate on areas of common interest.

I4CE appointed Secretariat of the Initiative

Based on its expertise and publication on the different topic prioritized by the initiative, I4CE has been named as the Secretariat of the Climate Action in Financial Institutions Initiative in November 2016.  As such, I4CE contributes to the work of the initiative on the following issues:

  • Provides substantive inputs to the initiative’s work program and technical elements to define Work-stream roadmaps.
  • Produces some of the deliverables of the initiative on an ad-hoc basis
  • Assists the initiative’s coordination group in facilitating collaboration between members
  • Supports the initiative’s communication efforts (Website management, newsletters, twitter, etc…)

4 Work Streams for 2017-2018

Following the adoption of a governance structure and a long-term vision for the initiative, the 30 Supporting Institutions have launched four areas of focus of work to be conducted in 2017-2018:

  • Climate risks: approaches, tools and methodologies
  • Mapping reporting initiatives and understanding implementation challenges
  • City-level climate smart approaches and financial instruments
  • Spreading a climate strategy into a whole organization

I4CE will provide in depth inputs to the different work streams.

The result of this collaboration and other reports and news related to the Work Streams will be shared between members and with non-member institutions in the new website of the initiative: www.mainstreamingclimate.org

    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.
