Climate-Financial trap: an empirical approach to detecting situations of double vulnerability

As one of the hottest years on record concludes the reality of the negative impact of accelerating climate change is a given. What is also a given is that different countries around the world experience very different form of negative impacts in a variety of ways some more gradually than others, some in the shape of abrupt and violent climate shocks. What happens when these impacts on populations on ecosystems or on economic activity come to worsen pre-existing fiscal imbalances or other forms of micro financial difficulties? How can governments effectively deal with the current and future consequences of climate change when climate change itself limits their fiscal ability to do so?

In this special episode of Grandes Lignes, we conclude and celebrate the first year of existence of this podcast, produced by Editions Agence française de développement, the publishing arm of the French development agency. Today, Bastien Bedossa (Climate Economist and consultant on climate policies and green finance) will help us unpack this articulation of climate and financial vulnerabilities. He is the author of a study recently published by the French development agency titled: " Climate-Financial trap: an empirical approach to detecting situations of double vulnerability ".
