Indices of Sustainability of Fiscal Policy Among the V20
In 2021, the Vulnerable Group of Twenty (V20) made a call for debt flexibility, invoking insufficient fiscal resources to finance responses to health and social crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as urgent investments in climate adaptation. The service of public debt crowds out crucial investments that countries require to climate-proof their economies and establish […]
Climate Change Risks and Consequences on Growth and Debt Sustainability in Africa
Although Africa has contributed only 3.8 percent of total global emissions, it has borne the brunt of climate change. With a substantial lack of energy access in Sub-Saharan Africa, the continent must balance the need to combat climate change with an urgency to develop the continent’s economies to alleviate hunger and poverty, which are exacerbated […]
Climate Physical Risk, Transition Spillovers and Fiscal Stability: An Application to Barbados
The 6th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscored that climate impacts will be significant and differ widely across countries, with developing economies far more exposed to the negative impacts of chronic and acute physical risk. Beyond climate physical risks, countries can also be negatively affected by a disorderly introduction of […]
Critical Challenges in Realizing the Energy Transition: An Overview of Indian States
Over the next few decades, India will undergo a significant energy transition to meet climate goals, with a steady reduction in the share of fossil fuels in its energy portfolio. This transition will have many different impacts, including on government revenues, investments and potential loss of fossil fuel-based assets and employment. A March 2022 study […]
Meeting the Moment: The IMF, Debt-For-Climate Swaps and Development
The level of debt distress among emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) has been a concern even before the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is now a burgeoning consensus that a full-blown debt crisis may loom on the horizon. Even without a widespread crisis, the increasing number of countries who are losing their fiscal space jeopardizes […]
An Analysis of the IMF’s International Carbon Price Floor Proposal
World leaders are facing a shrinking window to enact ambitious climate policies, as nationally determined contributions (NDCs) alone will not be enough to remain below the 2C global warming threshold. With the goal of enhancing global climate action, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has proposed an international carbon price floor (ICPF) arrangement, developed from the […]
Grid Modernization in the Philippines: Top-down Cost-Effective Resilience as Policy Drivers
There are three distinct elements to the clean energy transition: renewable generation, transmission and distribution, and use. Of the three, power generation through renewables has attracted the most attention and the greatest number of resources. The work on electricity use has been driven mostly by efficiency improvements and by electrification of heating and mobility, energy services previously provided almost […]
