RAPPORT SUR LES PAYS LES MOINS AVANCÉS 2024 – Tirer parti des marchés du carbone pour le développement

Le Commerce et le Développement des Nations Unies (CNUCED) a lancé aujourd'hui le Rapport sur les Pays les Moins Avancés 2024 explorant comment les marchés du carbone peuvent relier la croissance économique à l'action climatique. En liant ces objectifs, les marchés du carbone offrent une voie pour mobiliser des fonds pour le développement durable dans les économies les plus vulnérables du monde.

LISTE DES PLANS

1. Plan large, extérieur, Palais des Nations

2. Plan moyen, salle de presse

3. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « Parmi les 20 pays les plus vulnérables au changement climatique, selon différentes études, 17 sont des pays les moins avancés. »

4. Plan moyen, orateur à l'écran, journaliste, photographe

5. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « Les écarts financiers dans les PMA s'élargissent, et le déficit d'investissement dans ces pays ne cesse de s'aggraver. »

6. Plan moyen, salle de presse

7. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « En bref, les marchés du carbone cherchent à résoudre un problème économique concret : comment attribuer un prix à quelque chose de grande valeur pour la planète mais de faible valeur sur le marché. »

8. Plan moyen, journalistes

9. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « Alors que nous nous approchons de la COP29 à Bakou la semaine prochaine, avec un accent principal sur le financement climatique, ce rapport sert de signal d'alarme sur les marchés du carbone.»

10. Plan moyen, journaliste

11. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « Les PMA jouent un rôle minimal dans les émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre, contribuant à moins de 4 % du total. Pourtant, comme mentionné, ils font face à certains des impacts les plus sévères du changement climatique. Il existe un potentiel inexploité significatif dans les PMA, avec de nombreuses opportunités de créer des crédits carbone à travers des projets dans la foresterie, l'agriculture et les énergies renouvelables. »

12. Plan moyen, salle de contrôle

11. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « Malheureusement, les marchés mondiaux du carbone sont actuellement divisés et peu clairs. Les marchés du carbone sont fragmentés en raison d'une multiplicité de cadres réglementaires, de normes et d'institutions, ce qui entraîne une grande variation des prix du carbone dans les différents segments de marché. »

13. Plan moyen, journaliste

14. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « Un facteur crucial pour les PMA est d'établir un prix carbone viable, et le prix proposé par l'étude de la CNUCED est d'au moins 100 $ par tonne. Cependant, le prix actuel n'est que de 10 $ par tonne. »

15. Plan moyen, journalistes

16. EXTRAIT SONORE (Anglais) Rebeca Grynspan, Secrétaire générale du Commerce et du Développement de l'ONU : « Nous avons besoin d'un effort plus fort pour l'harmonisation entre les différentes normes et réglementations. Les PMA ne peuvent pas—et ne devraient pas— être forcés de naviguer dans un enchevêtrement de réglementations climatiques. »

WMO - Press conference: State of Global Water Resources Report 2025 (embargo lifts 6am CET 17 Sept.) ENG FRA

As world’s water reserves change, countries must prepare for a new reality: WMO

New data showing that rivers were at their lowest level for decades last year provides further evidence that the climate crisis is real and countries must act immediately to protect themselves from the increasing threat to communities and livelihoods, the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Thursday.  
The key findings from WMO’s State of Global Water Resources 2025 report covering the hydrological cycle and extreme events in the five-year period to last year:

  • 2025 was one of driest years for river discharge in 35 years
  • Past seven years have seen abnorfmal river flows
  • Water storage on Earth’s land surface has decreased in past decade
  • Widespread glacier loss across all regions for fourth consecutive year
  • Asia and Africa are regions most affected by water-related disasters
  • Water data availability has improved, but gaps remain in hard-hit areas

Highlighting the long-term decline in the Earth’s freshwater storage and glacier melt, WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo explained that the planet’s water reserves used to act as a planetary “savings account” that absorbed the occasional dry season, avoiding a water crisis. “One of the central stories of the 2025 report is what is happening to that savings account? And the simple answer is that we are depleting it,” she told journalists in Geneva.

Groundwater reserves are equally stretched and have been in decline since 2014, WMO’s report states, with nearly two-thirds of monitored wells worldwide showing levels lower than the historical norm and indicating a shift “further toward deficit…not recovery”.
“At the same time, we are seeing more water-related disasters,” Ms. Saulo said, while also stressing that the currently strengthening El Niño “will increase the risk of drought in some areas, and flooding in others”. 
Glaciers disappearing

In 2025, for the fourth consecutive year, every major glaciated region on Earth lost ice mass, leading to short-term hazards including floods and long-term water insecurity, according to WMO.

Responding to a question about whether the changing global water cycle might have contributed to the deadly Nepal-China flooding disaster, Ms. Saulo explained that melting ice and rock was just one factor in the chain of events that ultimately sent a massive and deadly wall of water and debris downstream on 26 August, killing at least 1,367 people.

“You asked if it could happen again? Absolutely; the problem in this region is that there’s 63,700 glaciers at the last count,” she told a Press Conference in Geneva. “Even if you’re looking with remote sensing with satellites at these glaciers, you might see some faults, you might see some slight shifting, that does not mean necessarily catastrophic collapse. So, in order to plan for this, it’s very, very difficult. But the international community is looking very hard at ways in which we can bring people together to solve some of these monitoring issues.”

Data indicates that glaciers shrank between 2023 and 2025 with cumulative losses of 1,400 gigatonnes of water – or about one third of annual fresh water needs.

Every major glacier region on Earth lost ice for the fourth consecutive year.

“All 19 glacier regions around the globe lost ice; in Central Asia, Iceland, the Russian Arctic and western Canada and the United States, it was among the three worst years on record,” said Wayne Jenkinson, WMO’s Director of Hydrology and Cryosphere.

Some regions with smaller glaciers such as Central Europe, the Caucasus, the western Canada and the United States may already have reached “peak water”, Mr. Jenkinson warned.

“After this point, the glacier gives less meltwater each year simply because there is less ice left to melt. That matters for every community downstream that relies on water during hot, dry summers,” he explained.

Narelle van der Wel, WMO’s Head of Cryosphere Monitoring, Predictions and Services, stressed that while some further glacier loss is unavoidable, the eventual scale of the decline is not predetermined.

“Some glacier loss is inevitable, but total loss of glaciers is not yet inevitable,” she said, pointing to emissions reductions as central to limiting future losses.

Preparing for moving baselines

The report does not attribute every observed change to climate change alone. WMO says pressure on water resources and natural variability also contribute.

Mr. Jenkinson said governments need to prepare for “moving baselines” as historical patterns become less reliable.

“The situation 30 years ago is not where we are today,” he said. Countries, he added, need to prepare “for those changes that have really already arrived”.
