Discover some important insights into concepts regarding the current issues linked to Green Finance.

Even if the IPCC reports are more and more alarming, scepticism is always present when it comes to climate change and the impact of human activity on it, as the Trump administration has proven in the past. Scepticism is also present when we talk about ESG criteria or Sustainable Finance. Around one-third of the finance professionals view Environmental, Social and Governance issues through the lens of negative screening without trying to understand the deeper context.

Globally, and similar to climate change, scepticism on Sustainable Finance is massively due to a lack of knowledge and a lack of clear and common definitions for its key concepts. How many people talk about Sustainable Finance without having a clear point of view on the issue?
