Launch of the France Roadmap for Sustainable Finance
The Fiduciary Duty in the 21st Century programme – launched in 2016 by United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and the Generation Foundation – will collaborate with Finance for Tomorrow to publish a France roadmap for sustainable finance.
This roadmap will set out recommendations for institutional investors and policy makers to promote responsible investment in France. The French market has already demonstrated leadership in sustainable finance, notably through the implementation of Article 173 of the Law on the Energy Transition for a Green Growth (TECV). However, there is still further progress needed to finance international sustainability targets, such as the one set by the Paris Agreement.
Building on interviews with stakeholders from the Paris financial sector and a workshop organised for September 2018, the roadmap will be published during UNEP FI’s Global Roundtable and Finance for Tomorrow’s Climate Finance Day, on 26-28 November 2018, in Paris.
The Fiduciary Duty in the 21st Century programme has already published 15 market analyses, including a roadmap for the United States, and more recently a roadmap for China. The France roadmap will be written by a consortium of three consultants selected by the PRI and UNEP FI: I-care (Antoine de Salins), Grizzly (Stéphane Voisin), and Beyond Ratings (Rodolphe Bocquet).
