Les Rencontres de l’IFD 2025
Les Rencontres de l’IFD, a new must-attend event for the Paris financial center in the field of sustainable finance, will take place on March 31, 2025, at the Ministry of Economy and Finance. It will bring together all stakeholders of the ecosystem contributing to the success of the ecological transition for a day of high-level discussions:public authorities, business and financial institution leaders, union representatives, and experts. The event aims to highlight the key challenges of the ecological transition for the country, as well as those related to its financing in emerging countries.
France, Europe, and the world are facing major political and geopolitical upheavals. The ecological transition seems to have taken a backseat in terms of priorities. Restoring a strategic vision for the transition requires accelerating the redirection of the economy towards a more sustainable model, leveraging reindustrialization opportunities tied to the decarbonization of economies.
The financial sector has a key role to play in supporting the transition of all sectors by allocating capital to transformation projects in both businesses and the public sector at a cost compatible with their economic profitability. This also requires close dialogue between public authorities, transition stakeholders, investors, and financiers, particularly in emerging countries.
Les Rencontres de l’IFD aim to foster this exchange to coordinate and accelerate the actions of the Paris financial center: What coordination with public authorities and various international levels? What financing solutions? What standardization tools? How can we accelerate global momentum?
The 2nd edition will focus on the theme «Ecological Transition: Reconnecting with a Long-Term Strategic Vision.»
