PresentationThis year marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda. These milestones are being celebrated in a context where the prospects for both multilateral cooperation and successful and timely implementation of these initiatives appear increasingly uncertain. While these agreements differ in nature, they share two key innovations, which continue to evolve today. This Study analyzes the key innovations and assumptions underlying the 2015 multilateral environmental agreements, evaluates how they are weathering today’s multilateral storm, and reflects on the roles they are likely to play in the future.

À l’automne 2022, les collectivités territoriales ont dû faire face à une conjoncture énergétique tendue, marquée par la hausse des prix de l’énergie et un risque de délestage. Pour y répondre, le gouvernement a lancé un premier plan de sobriété énergétique, et de nombreuses collectivités ont alors mis en place des mesures permettant de réduire significativement leur consommation d’énergie.

This comprehensive study reveals how, despite public promises of reform, the EU’s reliance on a liberalized, profit-driven energy market continues to drive up prices and threatens its own climate goals. However, in his analysis, Sean Sweeney goes beyond this grim picture and presents a bold vision for a publicly owned, democratically controlled energy system. From production to distribution and public financing, the study outlines actionable steps to redefine a model that serves people over profit, and can respond to the specific challenges posed by the European energy transition.

Literature reviews are usually quite uncontroversial. But this is not the case of “Reviewing studies of degrowth: Are claims matched by data, methods and policy analysis?”, a recent paper by Ivan Savin and Jeroen van den Bergh, two economists at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

Il y a beaucoup plus à perdre qu'à gagner à l'inaction climatique en France et dans le monde. La notion de " transition juste ", inscrite au préambule de l'accord de Paris, ne dit pas autre chose. Il s'agit bien, en premier, de faire la transition car c'est un objectif d'intérêt général majeur, qui conditionne à terme, tous les autres.
La transition juste est une transition :
- qui accompagne la cessation ou la mutation des activités brunes et le développement des activités vertes …
- tout en tenant compte des vulnérabilités propres aux différentes composantes de nos sociétés et de nos économies.
- et qui soit élaborée le plus démocratiquement possible par l'ensemble des parties prenantes, dont les citoyens, les ONG, les syndicats, les entreprises et les collectivités, aux différentes échelles territoriales.

The global energy democracy movement recognises that the energy transition is an urgent opportunity to reclaim our energy systems from the market and put participation, human rights, and equality at the heart.
Energy must be under just public ownership and democratic management, and not for profit. Solutions to energy provision should be collectively agreed, with frontline communities at the centre of decision making.

Les appels à « s’engager » en tant que chercheurs et chercheuses pour le changement climatique se multiplient, encourageant les scientifiques à « sortir de leurs labos » pour investir l’espace public et militant. Et si l’engagement se situait pourtant aussi à l’intérieur des laboratoires, au sein même du travail scientifique « ordinaire » ? Éléments de réponse parmi les modélisateurs et modélisatrices du carbone du sol.

Souvent ignorée, parfois fantasmée ou caricaturée, la philanthropie privée joue un rôle singulier dans le soutien aux transitions écologique, sociale ou citoyenne dans les territoires français. Le dossier de ce numéro
juillet-août 2023 d’Horizons publics met en lumière ce que les fondations rendent possible en matière d’expérimentations solidaires et d’alternatives écologiques, mais aussi de résistance à des projets contestés.

The City Climate Finance Gap Fund, or the Gap Fund, supports cities with early-stage technical assistance for low-carbon, climate-resilient urban development plans and projects. The Gap Fund has so far attracted €80 million in funds, but it aims to raise as much as €100 million and could eventually unlock an estimated €4 billion in investments. In operation since September 2020, the Gap Fund is a global partnership that helps cities in developing countries plan, prioritise and deliver projects focused on climate change mitigation and adaptation. The Gap Fund also promotes climate-smart urban development plans.

Le changement climatique s’accélère et ses impacts sont de plus en plus perceptibles, tandis que les températures atteignent des records. Cependant, ce qui est moins évident, c’est à quel point la lutte contre le changement climatique est liée à d’autres luttes sociales, dont celle pour l’égalité des genres.

The European Union (EU) has embarked on an ambitious ecological transition based on the European Green Deal, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This Policy brief examines the environmental policies put in place by the von der Leyen Commission and analyzes their impact on the European economy and the different countries. The Green Deal includes measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote the circular economy and protect biodiversity.

The 2023 state of the energy union report was published on 24 October 2023. It is structured in 3 parts, where the first describes how the high climate and environmental ambitions under the European Green Deal provided the basis for the EU’s crisis response strategy in 2022 and a strategy for growth and competitiveness; the second part analyses the state of play in the implementation of the Energy Union in all its 5 dimensions, based on the Commission’s assessment of EU countries’ progress reports on their national energy and climate plans (NECPs); and the last part points to future challenges for the EU energy system and energy policy.

In the face of the ever-worsening climate crisis, this report aims to challenge the six harmful but influential energy transition myths. Together, these myths aim to persuade us that the private sector, free markets, cheaper prices and decentralisation can decarbonise the energy system — and that intellectual property rights and trade and investment protection agreements are necessary to facilitate this. These myths keep policy-makers, social movements and communities from defending, building and advocating for real solutions: public power systems that can democratically decarbonise society.
