We strive to implement the Paris Agreement, and make global financial flows compatible with low-carbon development that is resilient to climate change. I4CE is an initiative of Caisse des Dépôts and Agence Française de Développement and is also supported by the ADEME and Morocco’s Caisse de Dépôts et Gestion. The National Agency for Environment and Energy Management (ADEME) supported the realization of the last three editions of the Landscape of climate finance in 2017, 2016, and 2015 (grants number 1510C0043, 1610C0014 and 1710C0009). The Energy and Climate Division of the Ministry for an Ecological and Solidary Transition (MTES, DGEC) has supported the 2015 and 2016 editions of the Landscape (grants number 2101698172 and 2101900381). The project has received support from the Climate KIC funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

  • Guai a Sinistra Per Macron
    Guai a sinistra per Macron [PARIGI] Dopo molti mesi di trattative nasce infine il nuovo gruppo all’Assemblea Nazionale che riunisce transfughi di La République En Marche (Lrem), il partito di Emmanuel Macron, e deputati appartenenti ad altri gruppi. Con duecentottantotto deputati il partito del presidente perde la maggioranza assoluta (duecentottantanove). Temporaneamente. Perché il gruppo attende l’arrivo di un deputato supplente di un eletto di En Marche dimissionario. In attesa del nuovo deputato, da un punto di vista dell’aritmetica parlamentare il governo di Eduard Philippe non corre comunque alcun rischio. La maggioranza presidenziale poggia infatti su un accordo con il MoDem (centro), il partito di François Bayrou che conta quarantanove deputati, e Agir, il movimento di ex Les Républicains (centrodestra) che ne conta nove. Tuttavia la carica simbolica dell’evento è notevole. Da mesi infatti nella sinistra del partito di Macron si discute sulla possibilità di trovare una forma di organizzazione interna – leggi una corrente – che consenta d’influenzare le posizioni del governo. Il nuovo gruppo sembra indirizzato a fare questo. Si chiamerà Écologie, Démocratie, Solidarité e sarà composto da diciassette deputati. Molti meno rispetto ai cinquanta inizialmente previsti. Di questi, sette sono quelli che hanno lasciato questa settimana il gruppo di En Marche per partecipare alla nuova avventura. Il governo e molti dirigenti di En Marche avevano fatto molte pressioni negli ultimi giorni per impedire che ci fossero troppe partenze dal gruppo parlamentare. | 1 Guai a sinistra per Macron Matthieu Orphelin, ex deputato del partito di Emmanuel Macron, da tempo lavora per creare un nuovo gruppo parlamentare di “macronisti” delusi Écologie, Démocratie, Solidarité sarà guidato da due ex-marcheurs, fuoriusciti tempo fa, Paula Forteza e Matthieu Orphelin, deputato vicino all’ex ministro dell’ambiente Nicolas Hulot.

  • Energy Forum Second Quarter 2008 International Association for Energy Economics
    Energy Forum Second Quarter 2008 International Association for Energy Economics President’s Message Globalization of Crisis or Crisis of Globalization? It is a pleasure to announce that this issue of our traditional Newsletter has changed its name and dimension; all for better quality, we hope, and to continue to serve the As- sociation’s goals. The new Forum has more pages and hosts more material than our previous format to spur discussions and debate among members. So I start with a new format myself: I shall propose to you a shorter but “louder” mes- sage, in the sense of writing less printed words but setting forth more provocative issues, from an intellectual perspective. The title suggests the following dilemma: Are we facing a spreading of crises, one after another, in the international market arena or are we at the final showdown, when the entire world market is risking a collapse under the excess weight of globalization? I admit that the answer is not at all clear. The idea of “globalization of crisis” is conveying the notion of spreading, or conta- gion, or spill over effect from one region to another or from one market to another. There are some examples: The financial crisis of subprime mortgages in the US has thrown echoing effects on the financial stability of the European system. At the beginning, newspapers in Europe CONTENTS desperately tried to minimize the domestic effect, while covering with lascivious indul- 1 President’s Message gence all the details of the American events.

Energy use is not usually considered a socio-economic issue. Yet, as this book demonstrates, the movement away from traditional fuels has a strong social class dimension, as poor people are the last to attain the benefits of using modern energy.

The first ordinance introduces various temporary adaptations and derogations necessary for carrying out the emergency work required to restore controls at the border with the UK due to that state's withdrawal from the EU.

  • 500 French, British and German Mps Write to Their US Counterparts to Support the JCPOA
    500 French, British and German MPs write to their US counterparts to support the JCPOA On May 12, president Donald Trump might decide to finally abandon the JCPOA, the deal between France, the UK, Germany, the United States, China, Russia and Iran regarding Teheran‘s nuclear program. Several hundred members of parliament of the three European signatory states, from all parts of the political spectrum, have decided to plead to the US congress to help keep this major diplomatic breakthrough alive. It is a pledge for transatlantic strength and a promise for further collaboration on the Iran issue and many other pressing challenges of international politics. Letter Text To the members of the United States Congress: For more than a decade, we – Europeans, Americans, and the international community – have feared the imminent threat of a nuclear-armed Iran. To counter this threat and make the Middle-East a safer place, the international community came together, using the might of diplomatic negotiations and the force of sanctions, agreed upon by most of the major economic powers. Then, after 13 years of joint diplomatic efforts, we reached a major breakthrough and signed the JCPOA . With that, we were able to impose unprecedented scrutiny on the Iranian nuclear program, dismantle most of their nuclear enrichment facilities, and drastically diminish the danger of a nuclear arms race. Not a drop of blood was spilt. Furthermore, these controls will not cease after the ten years of the JCPOA: Iran will continue to be subject to the strict controls prescribed by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which will continue to limit enrichment.
