Kit Pro Finance

Promise, solution, illusion or proven example of greenwashing? “Green finance” is now ubiquitous but remains a vague and controversial idea. More than just a fad, it has established itself as an essential step in the response to the climate and environmental crisis. At a time when more and more financial professionals and “consumers” are showing an interest in a meaningful approach, this book, driven by a strong conviction, seeks to disentangle what is useful in green finance from what is incidental, even fallacious. Based on an explanation of the issues, it proposes to: understand the role of finance in addressing global warming and its contribution to a transition to a sustainable future; highlight what is involved in the objective of “aligning” financial flows with the climate and environmental objectives envisaged by the Paris Agreement; Identify the concrete way in which different financial institutions can put themselves at the service of the transition to carbon neutrality.
