The French region of Brittany began working on developing its own green budgeting process at the end of 2020. These efforts led to the development of a pilot climate budget tagging methodology that was tested ex-post on the region’s 2020 accounts. Publications and methodological support from the Institute for Climate Economics, as well as Brittany’s participation in a green budgeting working group consisting of other interested French regions, facilitated this experimentation.
This pilot methodology is now being consolidated by the region for adoption in the 2023 draft budget. The exercise has highlighted key operational, methodological, political, and organisational challenges for implementing green budgeting at the regional level as well as the elements necessary to achieve success.
