The Institute has decided to start the new year by reviewing, for you, its most consulted studies and Op-Eds in 2020. From this list emerge the key themes that have marked the economy and climate news and the work of I4CE last year, starting with the health crisis and the economic recovery plans. By going through these analyses, you will be able to draw up your own assessment of 2020 and learn about the challenges of the coming months, such as the "territorialization" of the recovery or the new European initiatives in terms of financial regulation for the climate. We wish you a good reading, or rereading, of the most consulted I4CE publications in 2020.

It is not every day that the Gouvernment and the European Union relax the budgetary constraint and invest tens, hundreds of billions of additional euros to support the economy. So that the French recovery plan combines protection of the economy, jobs and the climate, I4CE experts have published numerous analysis and recommendations throughout 2020.

Now that it has been adopted, this plan will have to deliver in the territories: this is what is at stake in the new regional recovery agreements and State-Region plan contracts, which will have to be closely scrutinized. We will also have to think about the "post-relaunch" period: the 2022 presidential election in France should spark debates on the means to be implemented to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, especially since the European funding that makes this climate effort possible today could dry up, for both the State and local authorities, after 2022.

In 2020, many financial institutions have continued to meet the technical and strategic challenges involved in taking better account of climate issues, and many of you have consulted the works - always publicly available! - works dedicated to these operational challenges, starting with our alignment Cookbook written with the Institute Louis Bachelier and our guide for companies, financial or not, to understand climate-related scenarios.

But above all, 2020 is marked by the rise of climate finance regulators. They will have a busy agenda in 2021, particularly at the European level, and that's a good thing. The regulatory options are numerous and the financial players must, as the Glasgow COP looms, live up to their commitments made in Paris in 2015.

What about carbon pricing in all this? A historical theme for the Institute, it is a political agenda and an annual release that you are still following, as seen by your interest in our review of carbon taxes and markets around the world, the Global Carbon Accounts.
