I4CE joins the « Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition » launched by the World Bank

26 February 2016 - Foreword of the week

In February 2016, I4CE – Institute for Climate Economic joins the “Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition” launched by the World Bank as a strategic partner to share its expertise on the analysis of carbon pricing policies.

The Coalition is a voluntary partnership of national and sub-national governments, businesses, and civil society organizations that agree to advance the carbon pricing agenda by working with each other towards the long-term objective of a carbon price applied throughout the global economy by:

strengthening carbon pricing policies to redirect investment commensurate with the scale of the climate challenge;
bringing forward and strengthening the implementation of existing carbon pricing policies to better manage investment risks and opportunities; and
enhancing cooperation to share information, expertise and lessons learned on developing and implementing carbon pricing through various “readiness” platforms.

I4CE will participate to working groups of the Coalition to share its expertise in order to enhance the understanding of economic policy makers on institutional design, factors of effectiveness and benefits of the implementation of carbon pricing policies .

Risk levels and priorities: financing climate adaptation requires clear decisions

As the European Commission prepares an integrated framework on climate resilience and risk management for the EU, the public consultation has just wrapped up – an important step towards the publication of the proposals for the framework later this year. One of the main areas of focus will be the issue of financing adaptation, with the first key challenge being to mainstream the concept of resilience by design into all European funding currently under discussion, including structural policies such as the Common Agricultural Policy and the Connecting Europe Facility.

Unlocking Capital for Climate Adaptation: how financing costs exacerbate needs, and ways to address them in EMDEs

Adaptation needs in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) are rising rapidly, yet current financing assessments systematically underestimate the scale of the challenge. This paper calls for a shift from headline finance targets towards strategies that fully integrate cost of capital considerations, combining concessional finance, revenue mobilisation, and structural reforms to unlock durable and scalable investment in climate adaptation in EMDEs.
