The Covid-19 pandemic is disrupting the health services and economies of many countries. When the time is right, the long-term lessons learned from this pandemic will be important for the fight against climate change. In the shorter term, economic and climate experts, including those at I4CE, will see their agenda turned upside down: in the coming weeks, it will be marked by the challenge of greening the recovery plans that are being announced in France and around the world. 
In the meantime, I4CE invites you to discover this week a debate that has been stirring the world of finance for several years: does climate change require us to change the rules on banks' capital requirement? To fully understand this apparently technical subject, find the new I4CE report, the position of one of our researchers in an Op Ed, and a short explanatory video.
