Paris 2015 COP21 and Beyond: Cooling the Climate Debate.
Chair of Sustainable Development – Environment, Energy, Society and Collège de France

The professor Sterner and Guesnerie seized the opportunity of the meeting in Paris for the COP 21 to organize an international symposium on the economics of climate policies. The first day of the conference went back on the intellectual debate that feeds the discussion on the design of climate policies. The Institute Louis Bachelier was the partner of the second day of the conference which addressed items that were closer to the issues of the negotiation of COP 21, Paris, 2015.
I4CE – Institute for Climate Economics was pleased to be represented in the person of Benoit Leguet. He took part in the final round table accompanied by Carlo Carraro (ICCG), Christian de Perthuis (Climate Economics Chair), Corso Bavagnoli (DG Tresor), Thomas Sterner (Collège de France) and Roger Guesnerie (Collège de France) .

    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.
