    Dans une Opinion publiée par le Policy Center for the New South le 27 septembre à propos d’une récente découverte d’hydrocarbures en Côte d’Ivoire, nous indiquions que l’Afrique avait un important potentiel pétrolier et gazier et que ce potentiel était largement sous-exploité. Dans la même région, un autre pays de la Communauté économique des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO), le Sénégal, est sur le point de devenir un pays producteur et exportateur d’hydrocarbures (pétrole et ...

    The European Commission recently presented several legislative proposals as part of its “Fit for 55” initiative, designed to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. A Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been proposed as part of this initiative. The CBAM would be complementary to the EU’s Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), involving CBAM certificates issued to importers based on the integrated emissions intensity of the produc ...

    Face à la très forte augmentation du prix des matières premières observée depuis le printemps 2020, l’idée qu’un nouveau super-cycle soit en gestation s’est progressivement diffusée. Si les tensions qui s’observent à court terme sur les métaux de la transition environnementale (cuivre, nickel, étain, palladium) devraient, il est vrai, perdurer à moyen et long termes, l’affirmation selon laquelle leurs prix sont amenés à croître structurellement doit probablement être nuancée. Les ef ...

    Africa is often overlooked in international policy conversations about climate change, but the continent has not been spared extreme weather events. On the eve of COP26, in Glasgow, United Kingdom, in October 2021, and as the African Union formulates a climate strategy for the continent, it is worth recalling how global warming is affecting different parts of Africa and how the continent fits into policy conversations on climate change. ...

    In order to close the financing gap in green technologies, finding new mechanisms to enhance the participation of the private sector, combined with that of the public sector, in financing sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure is a must. In this context, some unlisted instruments are going to be needed to enhance financing of green infrastructure. Besides, the development of properly structured projects, with risks and returns in line with the preferences of the different ...

    L’Afrique a un important potentiel pétrolier et gazier, lequel est largement sous-exploité. On ne sera donc pas étonné par le fait que plusieurs pays africains sont sur le point de devenir de nouveaux pays producteurs et exportateurs de pétrole et/ou de gaz naturel et que d’autres, qui sont déjà producteurs, soient prochainement en mesure d’accroître cette production. Pensons notamment au Sénégal pour le pétrole et le gaz naturel ; à la Mauritanie pour le gaz ; à l’Ouganda ...

    The report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), released at the beginning of August, left no room for doubt. According to its estimates, it will be necessary to accelerate the pace of global containment of carbon emissions if the expected increases in global average temperatures are to be kept below 2 or 1.5 degrees Celsius, with correspondingly less-dramatic climatic consequences. Even if emissions of greenhouse gases are reduced over the next few ...
