Highlights – Key Figures on Climate France and Worldwide 2016 Edition

10 November 2015 - Special issues - By : François-Xavier DUSSUD / Irénée Joassard (MEDDE) / Florine WONG / Jérôme DUVERNOY

In line with previous years, but with a sharper focus that the issue deserves, the 2016 edition of “Key figures on climate” has been written in the context of the 21st Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP 21) to be held in Paris from 30 November to 11 December 2015.

This latest version has been updated and expanded relative to the 2015 edition. The sector-based analysis of GHG emissions has thus been supplemented by a double page on agriculture and emissions from Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF). A page
on carbon pricing around the world has been added. Some pages devoted to global data have also been spread across two to make them easier to read.

However, 2013 data for GHG emissions at the international level are not yet available. Unlike past years, this data will be made available by the European Environment Agency (EEA) later in the year.

This publication, through its structure and choice of topics, aims to inform as wide a readership as possible about climate change, its mechanisms, causes and effects, as well as the international schemes that have been established to limit them.

In addition to this paper edition, a smartphone application StatClimat was developed. It presents the main key figures on climate change in France and worldwide.

    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.
