De la COP21 à la COP22 : comment gagner le combat climatique ? Note de l'Ifri
Authors

October 12, 2016

En décembre 2015, la COP21 a abouti à un nouvel accord international dans le domaine de la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, ouvrant la voie à un changement d’échelle des efforts d’atténuation et d’adaptation. La nécessité d’agir vite ayant été fermement exprimée, 2016 fait figure d’année test pour la crédibilité des engagements pris à Paris.

Les politiques climatiques tendent effectivement à se généraliser mais aussi à s’ajuster aux contraintes et aux besoins locaux, écartant l’hypothèse d’un modèle uniforme de régulation des émissions. Si la transition bas-carbone est bien en marche, son rythme et ses modalités semblent encore trop incertains pour sortir les décideurs économiques de leur réserve vis-à-vis des choix décarbonés. La COP22, qui se tiendra à Marrakech en novembre 2016, sera l’occasion de mettre un terme à ces hésitations, en renforçant la pression politique et médiatique, en consolidant le principe de justice climatique et enfin, plus largement, en approfondissant la réflexion sur les moyens de mener une transition ordonnée vers la neutralité carbone.

    The African endowment in mineral resources is well known and has often been a mixed blessing, according to the socalled “natural resources curse”. Bauxite, an ore that serves as a feedstock for aluminium production, is particularly present in Guinean soil but, notwithstanding its efforts to do so, this country has not yet succeeded in transforming this red treasure into a real source of social and economic development. Despite the difficult economic context and a long road ahead, th ...

    Struggling with slow growth, many countries (advanced and developing), have allowed their currencies to slide against the U.S. dollar. Until recently, China stood out in resisting this trend, and indeed had seen a large appreciation against the US dollar over several years. So many saw its abrupt change of course not only as signaling deep trouble in China but also as opening the door to a bout of destabilizing currency competition. These troubling developments raise two important q ...

    The Chinese stock markets have been recently affected by plummeting indexes and high volatility. The substantial level of “mom and pop” speculators has been identified as one of the reason for these dynamics. Although there is no speculative bubble at the moment, we may question the impact of potential excessive trading on the promising future of Chinese commodity exchanges. ...
