Financement du développement résilient au climat en Afrique : évaluation prospective, cadre stratégique et plan d'action

Abstract

While the level of uncertainty enriched by the climate wars hypothesis, controversial moves on the finance field. Breaking with development aid and the conventional financial system, the climate financing enters a period of radical uncertainty. Data and information collected over the COP held, can lay the groundwork for a financial prospective. The study proposes socio-economic and financial scenarios inspired by the IPCC approach in assessing transformation with representative socioeconomic evolution pathways. The vision of long-term cooperative action allows to raise more funds to expand developing countries participation in the effort of data collection, development of good practice and guidelines. But reducing the time taken for adaptation and mitigation may lead to more radical solutions are needed to lower the temperature. The study proposes that Africa should adhere to the vision of development erga omnes around a futureresilient financial system. The study recommends the setting of an Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Financing to solve the problem of the transformation of global savings in very long term investment and to periodically report on the performance of the Global Investment Fund. Africa will also integrate the global value chain of carbon finance and to structure the innovation system with "clean tech" and "green business". Finally the study recommends several initiatives to provide financial support for large scale geoengeneering through reforestation, sequestration and storage of CO2 and solar radiation management.
