‘The emergence of sustainable finance: the case of Europe‘
“I want Europe to become the first carbon neutral continent by 2050”. These are words by Urusla von der Leyen, the forthcoming president of the European Commission. This is not wishful thinking. The European Commission has set an ambitious route map since a few years towards sustainable development and sustainable finance that crystalizes in the European Green Deal. To make it work, a re-definition of the financial service industry and the way corporations are financed is ongoing. In this talk, we will understand how the European Green Deal can succeed, moving away from brown to green activities, and putting public investment and new financial instruments at the core of Deal.
