leveraging

anglais vers français Affaires / Finance Général / conversation / salutations / correspondance Économie circulaire - CDN - financement
Contexte : ressources financières pour la mise en œuvre des interventions d'économie circulaire

By the end of this step you will have:
- Identified a coherent set of policy instruments for the implementation of selected circular economy interventions.
- Assessed the feasibility of policy instruments, including costs and benefits, and established indicators to measure and track the implementation of the selected policy instruments.
- Explored financing for implementation, including ***leveraging*** NDC implementation, financing, and investment plans and other mechanisms.

Pour info : NDC = Contribution déterminée au niveau national

Ma tentative :
Exploré la question du financement de la mise en œuvre, dont ??? (l'optimisation, l'endettement ???) de la mise en œuvre de la CDN, du financement, et des plans d’investissement et autres mécanismes.

Aussi, est-ce que "leveraging" concerne aussi le financement, les plans et les mécanismes ?

J'avoue que je ne comprends pas grand'chose à cette phrase.

Merci par avance pour votre aide -:)

@All respondents Merci à toutes et à tous pour vos suggestions et commentaires, qui m'ont vraiment été très utiles.
Daryo May 14, 2023:
"to leverage" is based on "un effet de levier" - the key point of using a (very physical / real) lever being that the "useful force" available at the other end of the lever is many times more than the force you have to apply yourself.

In practical terms: "leveraged financing" - to finance a project of 1.000.000 you put only 100.000 of your own money and use that fact to obtain 900.000 in loans. The "leverage" is the fact you needed only 100.000 to spend 10 times more.

OR you convince one small group of influential MPs to vote your way and many times more (enough for a majority) will follow them - this small group is your "leverage".

As the at the beginning you have "Explored financing for implementation, ..." what follows must be about "financial leveraging" - directly or indirectly. For example, use the fact that one source of financing is available (like NDCs) to get far more financing elsewhere.
Tony M May 13, 2023:
@ Asker I think 'leveraging' probably does refer to the whole list of items — though syntactically, it remains ambiguous. However, if it wasn't interposed, you'd end up with "Explored financing for implementation, including,... financing, and..." which even to me sounds nonesensical.
Usually, 'leveraging' has the sense of 'taking advantage of / making use of / making the most of', and I believe that is the sense it has here. I've seen it used as 'capitaliser...', but that might be risky here, due to possible confusion with the lore literal financial meaning.

Linguee has this to say:
leveraging adjectif / participe présent
amortissant adj (I admit I don't know what this means!)
leverage sth. verbe
exploiter qqch. v
The company leverages its good reputation to attract customers. La société exploite sa bonne réputation pour attirer des clients.
plus rare :
optimiser qqch. v · mettre à profit qqch. v · maximiser qqch. v · tirer profit de qqch. v · mobiliser qqch. v · susciter qqch. v

I think the ones I've underlined might be contenders here?

Cela fait apparemment référence au lien entre la finance circulaire et les objectifs climatiques.
Mon interprétation de la phrase :
Exploré la question du financement de la mise en œuvre, y compris en s'appuyant sur les plans de mise en œuvre, de financement et d'investissement relatifs à la CDN, ainsi que d'autres mécanismes.

""Leverage” is most often used to indicate that you made use of one thing to obtain another. Most applicants understand what leverage is; the mistake only comes in how they phrase it. The correct way is without a preposition."

Note from asker:
Merci, Caroline, mais dans ce cas, il y aurait "leveraging ON", non ?
Merci pour la référence, Caroline, c'est très clair maintenant pour moi.
