France's Green Budget: What's Next?
For the first time, France's 2021 budget bill is accompanied by a "green budget", i.e. an assessment of projected expenditure in terms of its environmental impact. This is an important step forward for the transparency of public action, according to Marion Fetet and Sébastien Postic of I4CE, who, in this post, also suggest improvements in the scope of the budget analyzed or in the classification of certain expenditures. And call for making the green budget a real tool for budget greening.

Framework for Climate budget assessment for cities
I4CE carries out a work of co-construction of a framework of climate assessment of the budget in collaboration with patrners and five metropolises and cities. A complementary part of this framework proposes initial elements for analyzing the budget through the prism of the climate change adaptation processes undertaken by the community. The first release is expected end of November.
