Energy poverty is a multidimensional issue, as demonstrated by a comparison between two low-income countries, Bolivia (BOL) and Côte d’Ivoire (CIV), and a high-income European country, France (FRA). These three countries represent different stages of access and energy poverty. The findings highlight the importance of considering affordability in efforts to ensure universal energy access, to prevent further exclusion and promote energy justice.

Ecological policy mix: the SDSN France report

The report attempts to respond to the UN Secretary-General's recent call for "innovative approaches and bold policy decisions" to tackle the SDGs (UN, 2023). It attributes the existing finance gap to the unrealistic assumptions of the dominant macroeconomic paradigm, which it proposes to replace with new assumptions that are better able to address the sustainability crisis. The potential effects of this new ecological policy mix are analysed using Philia 1.0, an ecological stock-flow consistent model.

This study investigates the dynamic relationship between climate extreme events, conflicts, and internal displacement in Burkina Faso. Using monthly data on floods, storms, violent and non-violent conflicts, and demonstrations from 2018 to 2022, the analysis shows that, unlike storms, floods have affected all regions of the country. This study highlights the need for effective conflict management policies and climate measures to mitigate the effects of extreme events in Burkina Faso.

Groundwater plays a critical role in supporting economic activities in Africa, particularly in regions affected by climate change-induced water scarcity. This study examines the economic implications of groundwater in relation to conflict dynamics in these regions. The findings underscore the need for developing equitable water management strategies to mitigate conflict and promote sustainable
development in Africa.

What policy mix for the ecological transition?

This article looks at how to make fiscal, monetary and prudential policies greener in order to address the massive financing needs and major risks associated with climate change.

Starting with the observation, based on the recent experience of the financial and health crises, that the separate and independent implementation of monetary and fiscal policies undermines their effectiveness, this study also shows the need for, and strategic role of, a green policy mix that ensures the coordination of fiscal, monetary, and prudential policies to meet the challenges of climate change.
