Abstract

Parmi les trois mécanismes de flexibilité du Protocole de Kyoto, le Mécanisme de Développement Propre (MDP) permet la diffusion des crédits de carbone provenant des projets compensatoires dans des pays non-Annexe I. Manque de réflexion sur les modes de financement des projets MDP, cet article vise à évaluer l’utilisation, par des bailleurs de fonds officiels comme intervention d’aide publique au développement, des opérations de conversion de la dette officielle comme mode de financement utile. Plus particulièrement, nous examinons dans quel mesure une opération de conversion de dette au bénéfice des économies d’énergie entre l’Uruguay et l’Espagne dans le secteur d’énergie éolienne, inclue dans un projet MDP, a bénéficié au financement du projet et à la disponibilité des ressources additionnelles pour le pays débiteur et pour la mitigation climatique, a créé des avantages complémentaires sur le plan du développement, et s’inscrit dans la nouvelle approche « d’alignement » de l’aide au développement aux politiques et systèmes du pays récepteur. Nos résultats mettent en garde contre l’adoption du cas espagnol-uruguayen comme modèle exemplaire pour des opérations futures de conversion de dette au bénéfice des énergies propres dans le cadre MDP.
