Supporting just transitions towards a sustainable economy
Global warming, the erosion of biodiversity and natural capital, social imbalances: our world is currently facing a number of crucial challenges for the future of humanity. To meet this challenge, everyone must contribute to forging a more sustainable economic model without increasing inequalities: businesses through an appropriate CSR policy, as well as public authorities and citizens.
Scientists have demonstrated that there are solutions
Reduce, adapt, save
Mitigating the causes, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and implementing adaptation measures to counter existing effects. Transforming our cities and regions and integrating sobriety into our lifestyles, safeguarding our ecosystems. All this has a cost, and it is vital to protect the most vulnerable from this cost. That is what we call the just transition.
What role for the banks?
Guiding financial flows
Banks play a major role in the current transitions: redirecting the flow of finance and investment in the global economy towards activities that have a positive impact on the planet and humanity in the short, medium and long-term.
