Climate Change Adaptation

20 October 2015 - ClimasCOPe - By : Vivian DEPOUES, PhD

Heading towards the 2015 Paris international Climate Conference (COP21), I4CE, in partnership with ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, releases ClimasCOPe # 5 on climate change adaptation

ClimasCOPe # 5 focuses on the place of climate change adaptation in the climate action. After an editorial titled « COP 21: a new approach and the launch of a process to address climate change adaptation » written by A. Leseur and V. Dépoues, I4CE experts analyze the issue of adapting to climate change by taking ownership of the issues and removing barriers to implementations. Then, ClimasCOPe #5 presents the recent developments of in international climate negotiations (the climate negotiations before the COP21, a new Sustainable Development Agenda for 2015-2030, New York Climate week, ministerial meetings and the annual meetings of the World Bank and IMF); to end it up with four key initiatives related to climate change adaptation.

    All hands on deck: Charting a course towards a clean industrial strategy

    One year ago, Mario Draghi warned that Europe was becalmed in treacherous waters. Fading competitiveness, trade disputes to east and west, and a growing political mutiny against the green transition make the way forward hard to navigate. This year, however, the EU has begun to find its bearings – guided by the Competitiveness Compass, with decarbonisation as the north star of the Clean Industrial Deal.

    The Competitiveness Coordination Tool: How to make better choices in clean industrial policy

    Europe is levelling up its industrial policy. From the Clean Industrial Deal to proposals for a more flexible EU budget, the Commission signals new ambition to build scale in strategic cleantech sectors and strengthen Europe’s decarbonising industrial base. Yet this firepower risks losing impact if spread too thinly. Limited resources demand sharper focus. As the Draghi Report made clear, Europe must act strategically: understand its industrial strengths and vulnerabilities, prioritise the sectors that matter most, and align funds, regulation, and institutional capacity accordingly.
