Trois outils pour rediriger les financements vers une utilisation durable des sols

This executive summary, published by the Climate Policy Initiative in July 2015, proposes three analytical tools to help governments in low- and middle-income countries and their partners redirect financial flows toward sustainable land use. The document argues that while land use sectors generate approximately one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, the vast majority of current investments support 'business-as-usual' (BAU) practices rather than 'green' activities that mitigate climate change or support adaptation.

• Land use, including agriculture and forestry, accounts for roughly 25% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, though this proportion is significantly higher in many individual countries; specifically, land use emissions exceed half of national GHG emissions in more than 60 countries, primarily developing ones.
• There is a significant gap between total investment in land use sectors and investment in sustainable practices. While total flows to agriculture and forestry in developing countries reach hundreds of billions of dollars, annual funding specifically for sustainable land use is estimated to be only between 1.3 and 51.8 billion USD.
• The document identifies a lack of transparency regarding current land use investments, noting that it is generally unknown what volumes of funding are deployed, which actors are involved, and the proportion of funding supporting 'green' activities versus 'business-as-usual' (BAU) practices.
• The first proposed tool, 'Financial Flow Mapping' (Cartographie des flux financiers), provides a qualitative and quantitative overview of public and private spending. It tracks the life cycle of funding—including sources, channels, and recipients—to identify barriers and baseline data for investment plans.
• The second tool, 'Financial Viability Analysis' (Analyse de la viabilité financière), compares the costs and revenues of green activities against BAU alternatives. It identifies where public support is needed to bridge viability gaps by reducing costs (e.g., via concessional loans), increasing revenues (e.g., via premiums), or improving the business climate (e.g., via legal reform).
• The third tool, 'Public Incentive Mapping' (Cartographie des incitations publiques), tracks public financial instruments at the national, jurisdictional, or sectoral level. It allows governments to determine if their policies are consistent and whether they effectively support the transition to sustainable production or inadvertently support BAU practices.
