I4CE’s contribution to the Global Climate Action Agenda’s roadmap

29 September 2016 - Foreword of the week

I4CE’s contributions quoted alongside those of other stakeholders in the synthesis report prepared by the COP21 and COP22 champions on of submissions on the roadmap for global climate action.

The world climate champions for France and Morocco Laurence Tubiana and Hakima El Haite, launched call for submissions to Parties and Non-Party Stakeholders to the international negotiation processus on climate change to welcome views on their detailed roadmap.

Building on its previous work for COP21, I4CE contributed to the call by bringing its views on the action agenda and the importance of monitoring and assessing the non-state initiatives.

The main elements of our contribution are :

  • Aligning promoted initiatives with the Paris Agreement objectives
  • Maintaining an increased ambition that encourage actions that are truly new
  • Building a consensu around MRV criteria for projects
  • Working with stakeholders networks to facilitate cooperation between state and non-state parties

Some of these insights were included in the final synthesis released on September 16th, for instance those regarding long term action coherent with Paris objectives, the necessity for state and non-state actors to enhance their ambition, focus on the implementation of cooperative initiatives.

    The EU’s research & innovation programme can power a cleantech revolution

The Green Deal era saw Europe embrace ‘Cleantech 2.0’, with record investments and new projects. Yet 2024 has brought a reckoning. Slowing demand in sectors like heat pumps and electric cars, Chinese industrial overcapacity, and attractive subsidies in the US and Canada have left European cleantech struggling to compete. Closures, layoffs, and stalled projects – including the high-profile collapse of Swedish battery maker Northvolt – have shaken the sector. The EU’s Net Zero Industry Act and the upcoming Clean Industrial Deal aim to support cleantech manufacturing, but catching up isn’t enough. To lead globally, the EU must focus on the next wave, including new battery chemistries and next-gen renewables – ‘Cleantech 3.0.’

    Leveraging the Prudential Toolkit for Effectively Managing Stranding Risks: A focus on the European Banking Industry

    As the European economy decarbonizes, economic assets across sectors are at risk of stranding or repricing from transition pressures. Yet private financial institutions, particularly banks, often narrowly focus on fossil fuel credit losses using historical data, underestimating broader ‘whole of economy’ stranding risks. Risk mitigation in the form of prudential capital buffers and loss provisions […]

    COP29 delegates have left Baku, but the financing challenge remains

    The COP29 in Baku was supposed to breathe new life into North-South climate cooperation through the negotiation of the new NCQG financing target. Instead, confrontational negotiations produced a half-hearted agreement, and the onerous task of charting a path to bridge the resource gap before the next COP.
