International context, rise of emerging markets and of China, ambiguous position of the United States on climate, Brexit... In his latest book, Philippe Zaouati, CEO of Mirova and President of Finance For Tomorrow, tells the story of sustainable finance over the last three years, since the COP21: a finance that serves the public interest, that is not an end in itself and thinks long-term. To him, Paris has an extraordinary opportunity to regain an important place in the financial world as a financial centre.
In fulfillment of Article 173 of the French Energy Transition Law
The transition from a carbon-intensive and ecosystem-destroying extractive economy to a green economy has begun. Green growth, which creates environmental value first, will also contribute to the creation of economic and shareholder value.
