Le Fonds pour les pertes et dommages, spécificités et conditions de réussite
January 2, 2026

Ce Policy Paper analyse les enjeux politiques, économiques et opérationnels du Fonds pour les pertes et dommages, créé pour répondre aux impacts climatiques irréversibles subis par les pays les plus vulnérables. Il clarifie d’abord la notion de pertes et dommages, qui mêle effets économiques et non économiques, et souligne les défis d’attribution liés à la superposition entre chocs climatiques et fragilités structurelles. L’analyse met ensuite en lumière les tensions d’économie politique qui entourent le Fonds : incertitudes sur le périmètre des contributeurs, risques d’aléa moral, articulation avec les instruments existants et difficulté à définir des critères d’éligibilité pertinents. Elle insiste également sur l’ampleur du déficit de financement et la nécessité de mécanismes innovants pour garantir des ressources prévisibles. Enfin, le papier examine les défis de gouvernance, notamment le rôle transitoire de la Banque mondiale, l’accès direct pour les pays vulnérables et la capacité du Fonds à décaisser rapidement. Il conclut que l’efficacité du dispositif dépendra de sa capacité à cibler les pertes « au-delà de l’adaptation » et à renforcer la résilience structurelle plutôt que de se limiter à des réponses ponctuelles.

    Mozambique’s extractive-industry development model is a textbook case of how enormous FDI funds derived from its rich mineral base have not been leveraged to   promote inclusive economic growth and generate food security for all. It is a textbook case of the resource curse.  Instead, only a few have benefitted, leaving the poor and vulnerable, who constitute the vast majority, to struggle unassisted. These include smallholders in subsistence-oriented agriculture ...

    Africa is facing a massive electricity deficit that is impacting its economic and social development, and its ability to catch up with the rest of the world.

Economic development in the 21st century will crucially depend on the digi ...

    Africa today remains far from food secure. Chronic malnutrition, widespread anemia among women of childbearing age, stunting and wasting among young children, pervasive underemployment in both rural and urban areas, and a youth bulge frustrated by high unemployment are key features of a continent that is seriously off track with respect to the SDG deadline: only 6% of SDGs have been implemented (Mo Ibrahim Forum, 2025).Despite this dismal progress, Africa can still achieve “The Afri ...

    Introduction: COP30 as a Test of Reality, Not AmbitionCOP30 in Belém was never going to be a breakthrough. In a world marked by fiscal exhaustion, geopolitical rivalry, and eroding trust in multilateralism, expecting transformational climate cooperation bordered on denial. The choice of the Amazon as host carried symbolic weight, but symbolism does not override power, interests, or institutional capacity.The outcome of COP30 confirms a deeper truth: the global climate regime has ent ...
