This article examines the financial performance of French solidarity-based investment funds, also known as « 90-10 funds », which combine 90% responsible listed assets and 10% solidarity assets from Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) enterprises.
This one-day workshop took place on 19th May 2025 and brought together researchers working on the design, evaluation, and impact of climate policies aimed at fostering the development and diffusion of low-carbon technologies. Access the slides for each presentation and a summary of the event.
The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the “Corporate Welfare” policies are embedded in a complex, dynamic and unstable mode of regulation.
Une étude menée sur 305 entreprises cotées en France, en Allemagne, au Royaume-Uni et au Japon, met en lumière l’influence du conseil d’administration sur la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Une empreinte surtout prégnante dans les entreprises les plus émettrices.
In this paper, we analyze the role of firms in mitigating climate change through their model of corporate governance. Our findings vary depending on the high- or low-emission sector. Based on these results, we propose several managerial and policy implications that can help improve corporate climate performance.
This paper examines the macroeconomic and distributive impacts of carbon pricing reforms.
In situations of water shortage and unreliability of the public water supply service, the rehabilitation of old water supply systems could constitute an additional source of supply. The chapter questions both the rationale of their rehabilitation and the state of nowledge associated with their use, based on the example of the old city of Ahmedabad in India.
L’ensemble des publications du projet d’analyse prospective « Transition(s) 2050 » est le résultat d’un travail de quatre ans conduit par l’ADEME en interaction avec des partenaires extérieurs afin d’éclairer les décisions à prendre dans les années à venir pour atteindre l’objectif de neutralité carbone en 2050.
L’indépendance des banques centrales (ibc) repose sur des fondements théoriques dont on retrouve des traces dès les années 1920. Elle semble aujourd’hui avoir perdu en pertinence, l’idéal de neutralité qu’elle suppose étant remis en cause par la multiplication des interventions des banquiers centraux dans l’économie. Face aux conséquences distributives du central banking moderne sur les inégalités ou le changement climatique, l’ibc pourrait bien être entrée en crise.
Hydrogen valleys, which integrate renewable energy sources, hydrogen infrastructure, and end-use applications, play a crucial role in decarbonizing industrial energy hubs. However, the large-scale deployment of hydrogen is constrained by limited renewable electricity availability and high technology costs. A key insight from our analysis is that the merit order of hydrogen end-uses is dynamic, evolving with an increasing Social Cost of Carbon (SCC). When the SCC surpasses a threshold defined by the Social Opportunity Cost of Abatement (SOCA), allocating hydrogen to the most emissions-intensive sector becomes socially optimal, even if that sector has a higher sectoral abatement cost.
