Séance 2 | 25 octobre 2023
Thomas Bernauer (ETH Zurich) : « Outsourcing » environmental impacts of consumption : Sustainability Governance of Global Supply Chains
La séance sera discutée par Rosanne Logeart (Paris School of Economics)
The first part of the presentation will focus on the extent to which high-income democratic countries are “outsourcing” environmental impacts of consumption to other countries via global supply chains. It will also shed light on the main policy instruments that are, thus far, used in trying to mitigate such outsourcing. The second part will then center on political obstacles to internalizing environmental impacts of consumption, with a focus on research results from choice experiments on consumer and citizen preferences on sustainability governance of global supply chains.

Séance 3 | 8 novembre 2023
Brendan Coolsaet (FNRS/UCLouvain) : Exploring environmental justice in France: Evidence, movements, and ideas
Valérie Deldrève (INRAE) 
This presentation explores the distinctiveness of French and francophone approaches to environmental justice. We first take stock of the empirical evidence of environmental injustices and inequalities in France. We then introduce some of the theoretical origins and discuss some of the main insights from the French literature in light of contemporary environmental justice scholarship.

Séance 4 | 14 février 2024
Marian Feist (Hertie School of Governance) : Negotiating the Green Climate Fund : Lessons for International Climate Cooperation
The Green Climate Fund (GCF), the largest dedicated climate finance institution, offers important lessons for the new loss-and-damage fund that is currently being created. This presentation takes a look back at the GCF negotiations. Why was there a push for a new fund? What has characterised its political dynamics?
What can it teach us about the structural and procedural challenges in other issue areas?

Séance 5 | 10 avril 2024
Marc Ringel (PSIA, Sciences Po Paris) : European Green Deal: assessing previous national commitments
The European Green Deal rests on the implementation of key energy and climate directives such as the energy efficiency directive or the renewable energy directives. In addition, Member States need to coordinate policies and measures in their updated National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). This contribution takes stock of the existing commitments that will allow to discuss the implementation and potential future of the Green Deal.
