In an article published in French in Le Monde, Irene Monasterolo asks: "[...] Why does financing for mitigation and adaptation remain insufficient, particularly in emerging and developing countries? This is due to the uncertainty surrounding climate policies and the inconsistent signals sent to markets. No financial intervention, whether public or private, can respond to climate change without credible economic and energy policies. Policy credibility is the key to engaging parties; it makes investors' expectations and risk assessments self-fulfilling, which is essential to redirecting capital towards mitigation and adaptation."
