The concurrent surge in fuel, food, and fertilizer prices underscores the broad vulnerability of agrifood system in an interconnected global economy, where supply chain disruptions can propagate rapidly. It also highlights the urgent need for a deeper understanding of the short-and long-term drivers of the price of the world's most widely used nitrogen fertilizer:...
Since 2015 the European Union has positioned itself as global leader in the ecological transition, placing the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 at the heart of its economic and financial agenda. This article examines the role of public banks, particularly the European Investment Bank (EIB), in structuring the financing of the green transition.
Industrie, décarbonation, défense… l’Europe multiplie ses objectifs stratégiques et compte sur les marchés financiers pour les financer. Mais la bataille pour l’autonomie stratégique commence peut-être dans le système financier lui-même, par des règles protectrices et des outils innovants de financement public.
Four in five people without access to electricity live in Sub-Saharan Africa, where mini-grids are seen as a key solution. Yet investment remains constrained by low and unpredictable demand, especially in fragile settings. We study electricity demand in North Kivu (Democratic Republic of Congo), using pre-grid census and survey data combined with six years...

This randomized controlled trial investigates how to accelerate the transition to the cleanest cooking fuel, electricity, and quantifies the benefits for people and the environment.
Historical contributions of carbon emissions differ widely between nations, constraining climate change negotiations. Cumulative country estimates ignore historical populations, overstating the role of large-population countries. In this paper, we present a global accounting framework. Adding CO2 emissions from land use change radically reshapes the map, moving Brazil from the world’s 8th largest creditor to...

The energy transition is a worldwide endeavor that most countries have come to acknowledge, thanks to the work of scientists all over the world. The use of fossil fuels in our energy-intensive economies for the past centuries has dramatically increased global warming (+1.5 degrees Celsius since preindustrial times), and public policies play a key...
Cette thèse analyse l'évolution de la finance solidaire en France à travers l'essor des fonds d'investissement solidaires. Elle met en lumière les tensions entre logique financière et l'objectif solidaire initial, en s'appuyant sur trois cas.
This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. These findings call for international cooperation, structural changes and social protection policies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of joint inequality and carbon emission reduction.
