In France, Climate investments withstand the Covid crisis
#Foreword
The 2021 edition of the I4CE Landscape of Climate Finance in France  has just been published. It brings us a reassuring piece of information: despite the crisis and thanks to the stimulus package, climate investments have been maintained overall. However, the investment gap towards national climate objectives remains. It will even increase when France raises its targets in the wake of the European "Fit for 55%" package. How can we close this persistent gap? This is the question that the French presidential candidates will have to answer, as the stimulus plan is about to expire.
Why do climate investments matter? Because today's investments are tomorrow's emissions. And because by looking into how they are financed today, we can better discuss how we want to finance them tomorrow.
 
This is why, since 2014, I4CE has been analyzing investments to reduce emissions in mobility, buildings and energy. Over the years, the Landscape study has become a reference tool. It has even expanded into several new I4CE projects, to study investments or public financing in the agricultural and food transition, local authorities or adaptation to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. You can discover all these via the links below.

Landscape of Climate Finance in France – 2021 edition

A steep rise in investment in low-carbon vehicles and sustained climate investment in other sectors, a fall in the financing of fossil fuels, a climate funding deficit of over 13 billion that recovery measures are unlikely to offset... these are some of the facts provided in the 2021 Landscape, in which I4CE also calls on public authorities to prepare for the end of the recovery plan.

Assessing the sustainability of the French food system
I4CE also analyses the financing of the food chain!  Unfortunately, this financing is rarely consistent with the available visions of a sustainable food system... In this technical paper published a few weeks ago, I4CE assesses the contribution of financing flows to the emergence of a sustainable food system and identifies its limitations and key methodological challenges for the future.
Quanti-Adapt – Quantifying the needs of adaptation
The financing of adaptation is challenged by the lack of clarity on the level of needs. In the absence of sufficiently clear and consolidated information, it is difficult to discuss and commit on human and financial resources for adaptation. The Quanti-Adapt project aims to consolidate the available cost elements and estimate the missing elements.
Quanti-neutrality : local and regional authorities’ expenditures to achieve carbon neutrality
In order to contribute to the achievement of France's climate objectives, the climate expenditures of local authorities will have to increase in many sectors. The objective of this project is to estimate these expenses, both for investment and operation.
