29 September 2016 - Foreword of the week

I4CE’s contributions quoted alongside those of other stakeholders in the synthesis report prepared by the COP21 and COP22 champions on of submissions on the roadmap for global climate action.

The world climate champions for France and Morocco Laurence Tubiana and Hakima El Haite, launched call for submissions to Parties and Non-Party Stakeholders to the international negotiation processus on climate change to welcome views on their detailed roadmap.

Building on its previous work for COP21, I4CE contributed to the call by bringing its views on the action agenda and the importance of monitoring and assessing the non-state initiatives.

The main elements of our contribution are :

Aligning promoted initiatives with the Paris Agreement objectives
Maintaining an increased ambition that encourage actions that are truly new
Building a consensu around MRV criteria for projects
Working with stakeholders networks to facilitate cooperation between state and non-state parties

Some of these insights were included in the final synthesis released on September 16th, for instance those regarding long term action coherent with Paris objectives, the necessity for state and non-state actors to enhance their ambition, focus on the implementation of cooperative initiatives.

Climate transition plans for banks: European legislators on a razor’s edge

The proposal for mandatory climate transition plans for banks is slowly making its way through the regulatory debate. Proposed by the European Commission and confirmed by the EU Council, this proposal has now also been taken up by the European Parliament. This obligation could be a game-changer for financial risk management and the alignment of financial flows with the transition to a low-carbon economy. It could lead banks to limit their activities in climate-damaging activities, adjust their business models, review their strategies as well as their governance and risk management procedures.
