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.
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.
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.
On February 7, we hosted the 11th International Conference on Mobility Challenges, where we engaged with leading academics, stakeholders from the automotive industry, civil...
Cet article propose une analyse comparative d’un fonds solidaire « 90-10 » recherchant principalement la performance financière (fonds « A ») et d’un fonds solidaire spécialisé (fonds « B »), privilégiant la création d’impacts positifs sans performance financière. Ces fonds combinent les notions d’impact et de solidarité de manière hybride : communication d’une part, pratiques de financement et de sélection d’autre part.
Grass-based beef cattle production systems are generally perceived as beneficial to the environment. However, the climate impact of grass-based systems compared to systems based on energy-dense feeds remains controversial. The findings highlight potential trade-offs between climate goals and other sustainability objectives (e.g., biodiversity, animal welfare).
La transparence : une condition nécessaire à la réorientation des investissements vers une économie bas carbone, mais pas suffisante. Quels sont les déterminants qui influencent la transparence climatique des firmes européennes ?
