The Institute for Climate Economics was founded in 2015 to use economics to support climate action. Five years on, it employs some 30 people and is recognised as the reference Institute for the analysis of climate investments and the climate impact of public budgets. It also delivers pioneering research on the financial system’s contribution to the fight against climate change and the financing of the transition in agriculture and forestry, and continues to develop in the territories and internationally. Its success has been driven by Pierre Ducret, who was responsible for the creation of I4CE and has chaired the association since its inception. After five years sharing with us his enthusiasm, energy, advice and ideas, Pierre has decided to hand over the chairmanship of I4CE: a page is turning, with a great deal of emotion for the whole team. Thank you, Pierre!
To succeed Pierre, I4CE’s Board of Directors appointed Jean Pisani-Ferry a few days ago. Jean, who was previously Director of the European think tank Bruegel then France Stratégie, will bring to I4CE his extensive experience in the world of debates. This experience and his intellectual rigour will be key assets for our team and will enable us to grow professionally and to fully deliver on our mandate. Welcome to I4CE Jean!

Pierre Ducret
“I am delighted to hand over the chairmanship of I4CE and its future supervision to Jean Pisani-Ferry. He will bring the Institute his vast experience as a renowned economist and will help this outstanding team to meet new challenges. The climate battle is not won and its economic and financial dimension is critical; the importance of an Institute that is rigorously dedicated to this challenge is now recognised, but the team knows that nothing should be taken for granted. I would like to thank all the people who have supported I4CE since its launch and have contributed to its development. Success was not a foregone conclusion. The adventure continues!”

Jean Pisani-Ferry, chair of I4CE
“Five years ago, Pierre set up I4CE. At that time, many people still saw the climate as a problem for another day. Today, climate change is central to discussions on growth, territories, inequalities, international trade and financial stability. I am very pleased to join I4CE and will strive to contribute to its development and to promulgate its research”.

Carbon footprint
Talk is good, but action is better. In line with the movement launched by the Labos 1point5 collective, I4CE has conducted its own carbon audit. This was the opportunity to find out how much the Institute emits and to engage a process to reduce these emissions. In particular, the association has undertaken to avoid flying where there is a low-carbon alternative that does not exceed six hours. Read the blog to find out more about I4CE’s carbon footprint and commitments.

Code of ethics
Scientific rigour, transparency on our findings and assumptions, and prevention of conflicts of interest. I4CE’s employees all undertake to respect and promote these principles, which give the Institute strength and added value in debates on public action on climate change. Take a (new) look at our code of ethics.
