Anyone who signs an agreement with the EU should be committing to put the Paris Agreement into practice&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cWe even go beyond our own rules and ask our own economic agents to do the same. Why should we sign a trade agreement with powers that say they don&#8217;t want to implement the Paris Agreement? We would be mad [to do so].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">Macron said that the world&#8217;s multilateral rules-based trade policy was \u201cthreatened by unilateral temptations\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cI&#8217;m not in favour of showing any softness to those who decide to break those rules,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can no longer pursue objectives that work against our own [climate] policies inside our own borders.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2018\/02\/02\/eu-difficult-imagine-trade-deals-countries-not-paris-agreement\/\"><strong>EU:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8216;No new trade deals with countries not in Paris Agreement&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">Doing so would \u201cdiscourage\u201d Europe&#8217;s clean energy investors who might suffer from unfair competition as a result, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">The French\u00a0leader also made an impassioned plea for a European carbon floor price, and a border tax to prevent cheap, carbon-intensive products entering the EU market which could undermine cleaner local producers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">Macron called for the EU&#8217;s budget &#8211; currently being negotiated &#8211; to increase the fifth of budget spending currently earmarked for climate measures.\u00a0This is likely to upset some other\u00a0EU states, such as Poland, which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2018\/02\/02\/poland-put-common-sense-climate-ambition-host-critical-un-talks\/\">has painted climate action<\/a> as a drag on economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cIn the [European] Council debate, we have to set an objective that none of the expenditure is hostile to the climate,\u201d he said. \u201cSetting climate spending at 40% of the budget would be ambitious compared to today but I think we can achieve it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">Macron&#8217;s oration brought what would normally have been a staid sustainable finance conference to its feet for a one minute standing ovation, with attendees enthralled at the sight of an EU leader &#8216;walking the walk&#8217; in the face of Trumpian assault on Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cI think he&#8217;s right,\u201d Christiana Figueres, the former UN climate chief told Climate Home News immediately after hearing Macron&#8217;s comments linking trade deals to the Paris accord. \u201cWhat more can I say?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">Last month, CHN reported the French foreign minister,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2018\/02\/02\/france-us-no-paris-agreement-no-trade-agreement-1\/\"><span class=\"s5\">Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne,<\/span><span class=\"s4\">\u00a0said<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that if Trump withdrew the US form the Paris agreement, there would be \u201cno trade agreement &#8211; the US knows what to expect\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s6\">That position was subsequently\u00a0<span class=\"s4\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2018\/02\/02\/eu-difficult-imagine-trade-deals-countries-not-paris-agreement\/\">backed up by the European Commission<\/a>\u00a0and the practice is already implemented in some of the EU&#8217;s latest trade deals<\/span>. Macron&#8217;s comments on Thursday were the first time a European head of state has referred to the precondition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">Earlier in the day, the UN&#8217;s special climate envoy, Michael Bloomberg, told the conference that under Trump, Washington was \u201cout of synch with the national zeitgeist but it matters less\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">US cities and regions representing emissions roughly equivalent to the UK, France and Germany combined remained committed to the Paris Agreement, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">In a bid partly intended to reverse the shortfall in climate funding caused by the US&#8217; reneging on Obama-era spending commitments [link], the Global Covenant of Mayors issued a new funding call in Brussels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">Multilateral banks including the EIB, EBRD and World Bank, appealed to states, pension funds and investment houses for $200m to fund developing cities and $600m for enhanced credit financing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">This sum could then be leveraged up to $6bn, according to Cristiana Fragola, a director of the covenant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cIf pension funds &#8211; most of which spend just one-two percent of their funds on climate action &#8211; were to allocate even a minor portion of their assets to this call, we could really move the needle substantially,\u201d she told CHN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/about-us\/republishing-our-work\/\">Republish this article<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8216;I&#8217;m not in favour of showing any softness to those who decide to break those rules,&#8217;
