Réforme des
subventions des
énergies fossiles
(In French - translation available on site in Arabic and
English) Rassemblant des représentants de haut niveau
provenant de pays et régions de la Francophonie, cet
événement parallèle s’avère un dialogue essentiel pour le
partage des meilleures pratiques et des enseignements
tirés par les administrations ayant effectué une réforme
partielle ou totale de leurs subventions aux énergies
fossiles. L’auditoire sera ainsi informé par des participants
qui font activement partie des efforts internationaux à
cet égard grâce au partage d’information au sujet de
leurs pratiques de mise en œuvre de réformes des
subventions aux énergies fossiles. L’objectif est aussi de
mettre en lumière les synergies possibles entre une telle
réforme, d’une part, et les investissements dans les
énergies renouvelables, le transport en commun et
l’efficacité énergétique, d’autre part. Speakers:
Switzerland, Morocco, France, IISD and WB.
