Op-ed on climate finance for COP21 – On the road to the USD 100bn for the climate

8 October 2015 - Foreword of the week
  • On the road to the USD 100bn for the climate: what can we expect from Finance Ministers meetings in Lima?

Ian Cochran and Romain Morel have published an op-ed on the French Huffington Post to explain what is at stake concerning the $ 100 Bn and the ministerial meeting happening this week in Lima.

The 1-2-3s of the $ 100 Bn are discussed:

  • One: What is the USD 100 billion and why is it important?
  • Two: Why should climate finance ‘bean counting’ make it to a minister’s agenda?
  • Three: Why this methodological issue is important, but may be missing the larger question question?

You can find the English version of this op-ed on the website of Jean Jaurès Foundation “Progressives for Climate

    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.
