An annual report on sustainable development prepared by the Agence Française de Développement and the French Institut du Développement Durable

L’agence Française de Développement  The French Development Agency (AFD), a financial institution, is a main actor of France’s Development Assistance policy.  AFD works in five continents to reduce poverty, finance economic growth and protect global public goods.  AFD works in five continents to reduce poverty, finance economic growth and protect global public goods.  Its actions fall within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).  Its actions fall within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

L’Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales  L’Institut du Développement Durable et des Relations Internationales (Iddri) was created in 2001 to foster research in the field of sustainable development.  Iddri’s research themes include climate change, biodiversity, agriculture, forests, as well as cross- sector themes, such as the international governance structure, financing of sustainable development, environmental and social responsibility, uncertainty and precaution.

An annual report on sustainable development  AFD and Iddri have teamed up to launch a new, annual report on sustainable development.  Every year, a similar format, in three sections: I: Introduction, interviews, chronology of the previous year, agenda of the coming twelve months. II: An annual thematic section. III: Various « pointers »: maps, graphs, technical notes, updated on an annual basis.  First published in November 2006 (Regards sur la Terre 2007).

The introduction highlights the main issues of the preceding year  The past year characterized by bad news regarding energy (prices) and climate change.  Public opinion and governments have been affected: shifts in the US and a new interest in China regarding sustainable development.  End of the “pollution heavens” and convergence of preferences regarding health and the environment.  There is a need for collective action and coordination, but international institutions should also be reformed and adjusted.

The 2007 thematic section : Energy and climate change  Sixteen chapters organized around four issues: 1. Energy and climate: what is at stake? 2. The role of industrializing countries 3. Implications for the less developed countries 4. Beyond Kyoto: towards a global regulating system?  Highlights the role and situation of southern countries  Prepared by French and foreign experts  English translation of a few chapters: “Bringing developing countries into the energy equation”

Main conclusions of the thematic section (Energy)  The demand for energy will keep on growing strongly, led by developed countries and emerging economies.  If present trends continue, by 2050, Asia will consume more fossil fuel than all developed countries today…  … but “peak oil” will happen at the latest by Many experts in fact think 2020 or before.  Barring unexpected changes, renewable energies will only have a limited role throughout the next 25 years (less than 15 % of total energy consumption).  The “return” of coal appears certain …along with the climatic risks associated with this fuel.

Main conclusions of the thematic section (Climate change)  The increase in average temperature worldwide is likely to go beyond the 2°C threshold considered dangerous by most scientists (IPCC projections range from 1,5°C to 6°C).  Risks of “positive feedback” (meltdown of ice and glaciers, defrosting of permafrost, inversion of vegetal carbon sinks,…) which would accelerate climate change.  Many scientists conclude we have less than ten years to reorient our economies and societies.  Necessity to divide by four or five the CO 2 emissions of industrialized countries?

Main conclusions of the thematic section (Industrializing countries)  Energy demand by industrializing countries is expected to grow rapidly: by 2030, China’s consumption will be as large as Europe’s.  Significant scope for reducing the growth of CO 2 emissions in these countries, in sectors such as transport, housing and electricity production.  If China were to replace coal by gas for the production of 50 GW of electricity by 2020, the resulting decrease in CO 2 emissions would be equivalent to the Kyoto targets of the European Union (25).

Main conclusions of the thematic section (Africa and LDCs)  While the contribution of Africa and the Least Developed Countries to climate change is only marginal, they will be its main victims.  Risks that extreme events (droughts, floods) become more frequent, geographical shifts of endemic diseases, environmental refugees.  These countries have derived very limited benefits of the Kyoto Clean Development Mechanism (a few % of carbon credits).

Main conclusions of the thematic section (Beyond Kyoto)  Among developing countries, little inclination to accept binding targets…  … while the US refuses to participate in a compulsory agreement on climate change that does not include developing countries.  A return of the US to the negotiating table nonetheless appears likely, albeit on a different basis.  The CDM should be adapted to take account of the sector and conservation policies of developing countries.
