Low-carbon investment 2011 – 2017

27 September 2018 - Climate Report - By : Hadrien HAINAUT / Ian COCHRAN, Phd / Lola GOUIFFES / Jason DESCHAMPS / Alice ROBINET

The transition to a low-carbon economy implies significant investments in buildings, transport systems, vehicles, power plants, industry, agriculture. However scaling-up those investments to meet climate and energy objectives requires an improved knowledge base in investments and financial flows in those sectors, as well as policy assessment tools.

 

This is why I4CE has developed since 2013 a “Landscape of domestic climate finance”. It is a systematic tracking of domestic climate investment and related financing flows in France. By highlighting the gap between current investments and climate objectives, it helps generating awareness and engagement with national stakeholders. Aggregating indicators from different sectors into a single, coherent view, it serves as a reference point to track where the transition stands year after year and whereas sectoral analysis improves the understanding of investment policy successes and setbacks.

 

This report has been designed for those that would like to learn more about climate policy and investments in France. Moreover, by presenting a deep-dive into the roots of the Landscape methodology, it intends to support, if not inspire, any actors who may wish to develop a Landscape in their country.

    Halfway to 2030, the EU needs a climate investment boost

    In a challenging geo-political context, Europe has a window of opportunity to lead on both climate action and industrial competitiveness. As Mario Draghi highlighted in his report last year, this can only happen if decarbonisation ambitions are backed by real investment – and there is an urgent need to boost those investment. The European Commission followed suit and pledged to be an “Investment Commission,” while reaffirming its commitment to implement the 2030 emission reduction targets and to stay to course on the longer-term targets.

    The State of Europe’s Climate Investment, 2025 edition

    With the second edition of our State of Europe’s Climate Investment report, we take stock of the development in investments supporting the climate transition in the EU27. The report assesses the real-economy annual investments needed to meet the 2030 targets set out in the Green Deal and Net Zero Industry Act for the energy, buildings, transport and clean tech manufacturing sectors. We track the actual investments in those sectors in the EU economy, highlight the deficits and analyse challenges to mobilise investments.
