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.

    EBA’s new guidelines offer a beacon of hope amid regulatory uncertainty

    While several North American banks exit the voluntary NZBA (Net Zero Banking Alliance), European banks must bolster their climate risk frameworks. The European Banking Authority’s (EBA) recently published guidelines on ESG risk management offer a beacon of hope amidst the turmoil that currently surrounds the EU’s sustainable finance regulations. These guidelines are encouraging in both substance and form, reflecting prudential supervisors’ commitment to aligning the banking sector with the bloc’s climate and sustainability goals.
