🌿Investor Engagement & Say on Climate 🌿 In the race towards net zero emissions by 2050, shareholder engagement is pivotal. Despite challenges in France's regulatory landscape, recent EU reforms and stakeholder advocacy signal a shift towards empowering shareholders on climate matters. We are therefore delighted to share with you our latest research work, "A changing climate...for investor engagement on transition plans in France." This paper analyses the use of shareholder resolutions on climate in France and articulates why they are potentially of less utility in this jurisdiction compared to others. It then explores the shifting dynamic for investor engagement on climate matters in France more broadly. In the context of the emerging focus on company climate transition plans there is significant scope for reconceptualising a shareholder vote on a company transition plan as a risk mitigation measure by the board of directors. At the same time a number of stakeholders have put forward recommendations for regulatory changes which seek to increase the power of shareholder resolutions on climate matters. And finally the paper discusses the new regulatory requirements at EU level to disclose corporate transition plans.

With #COP16 spotlighting biodiversity, CDP has partnered with 11 major French institutional investors launching a €100 million biodiversity fund, managed by Mirova. This fund will leverage CDP’s climate and nature data to invest not only in companies reducing biodiversity loss, but also those in high-impact sectors showing credible transition efforts.

Like 66% of the world's population, I am convinced that when it comes to ecological transformation, choosing action will cost us less than choosing inaction. 🌎 🌱 As we confront environmental challenges, finance plays a pivotal role in driving ecological transformation. By redirecting capital towards sustainable initiatives and integrating ESG factors into investments, we can catalyze the low-carbon transition and contribute to natural resource preservation. 💚 I'm excited to be working for Veolia Near & Middle East & can't wait to be a part of #GreenUp's transformative journey to build a more sustainable and desirable future 🌿💧💡 #Team66

[#LetsTalkSustainability] #Biodiversity plays a crucial role in sustaining ecosystems, human well-being and economic stability. However, as highlighted by the WWF’s 2022 Living Planet Report, wildlife populations have significantly declined, posing serious risks to our natural environment and economy.

Many of you know I've spent 25 years in France and French-speaking countries. French engineers pioneered many construction innovations: - An Urban Brownfield Megaproject, with M. Haussmann cutting through Paris slums with now famous boulevards - A pure steel high-rise building - Eiffel Tower - and many others   My colleagues from Jean-Francois Lahet's team of BCG Paris identified four areas where best-in-class French companies have gained competitive advantage - since the aggressive carbon reduxtion targets were implemented. These strategies offer precious lessons for global #construction firms preparing for market shifts that are unfolding.

My colleagues Lareina Yee, Michael Chui, Roger Roberts, and Mena Issler have just release a very insightful report on the 2024 top tech trends, and sustainability plays an important role. Here are some highlights on the intersection of sustainability and tech: 🔋 Electrification and renewables are leading the charge in reducing global carbon emissions. In 2023, a record 507GW of renewable-generation capacity was added globally, a 50% increase from 2022. 💡 Beyond electrification and renewables, climate technologies are making waves. From carbon capture to circular technologies, the market for gigaton-scale carbon removal could be worth up to $1.2 trillion by 2050. For more detailed insights and to understand how these trends can shape a greener future, check out the full report. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dTsbhGjw #ClimateTech #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #NetZero

Roundtable Discussion at COP 29 : Accelerating Large Low Carbon Capital Projects Yesterday we had a very dynamic roundtable at COP29, where I had the privilege of facilitating a session with industry experts on the urgency of accelerating large low-carbon projects. Together, we explored strategies to reach Final Investment Decision (FID) faster amid a complex web of technology, regulatory hurdles, and financing needs. A big thank you to all participants ! Here are some actionable takeaways from our session: 1. Risk Reduction through Ecosystem Partnerships: From shared infrastructure investment to supply chain collaboration, partnerships across the value chain are proving essential to mitigate risks and secure financing 2.  Flexible, Adaptive Contracting Models: Traditional contracts often fall short in this space; instead, innovative alliances and reward-sharing contracts enable more adaptable, aligned project structures 3.  Optimized Project Economics with Demand Anchors: Early off-take commitments are pivotal, de-risking projects by securing revenue streams, while modular configurations offer cost-effective scalability Thank you Hubi for co-hosting with me! For more on these shifts in low-carbon project delivery, BCG’s article provides additional perspective: https://lnkd.in/dYKScQqn Beyond the specific roundtable ,  interesting days in Baku for the COP29 : I am witnessing the need to find the right trade-off between acting really seriously on climate change while addressing social and economic dimensions . #COP29 #NetZero #GreenTransition #LowCarbonProjects #SustainableFuture
