Abstract

The Synthesis Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report, published on 20 March 2023, stresses the importance of financing and international cooperation in accelerating climate action. India, a major emerging economy which has held the presidency of the G20 since December 2022, has also placed the environment and financing the transition in middleincome countries among its key priorities. While emerging countries now account for the majority of CO2 emissions, their emissions are closely linked to those of advanced economies via global trade. Consequently, the international community needs to devote greater financial resources to protecting the climate, which is a global public good. Without this additional funding, financial stability, which central banks are tasked with safeguarding, could be jeopardised by disorderly, delayed or even abrupt climate transitions. The Summit for a New Global Financial Pact, to be held in Paris in June 2023, will attempt to find solutions to these issues. Le 6e rapport de synthèse du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat (Giec), publié le 20 mars 2023, met en exergue l’importance de la finance et de la coopération internationale pour accélérer l’action climatique. L’Inde, grande économie émergente, qui préside le G20 depuis décembre 2022, a également placé l’environnement et le financement de la transition des pays à revenu intermédiaire parmi ses priorités. Si les pays émergents concentrent désormais la majorité des émissions de CO2, ces émissions sont liées par le commerce international à celles des pays avancés. Dès lors, la communauté internationale doit mobiliser davantage de ressources financières pour préserver le climat, considéré comme un bien public mondial. Sans cette mobilisation, la stabilité financière, dont sont garantes les banques centrales, pourrait être remise en cause par des transitions climatiques désordonnées, tardives, voire brutales. Le sommet pour un nouveau pacte financier mondial, qui se tiendra en juin 2023 à Paris, tentera de répondre à ces problématiques.
