We sponsored and took part in the third edition of the Rencontres de l’Institut de la Finance Durable 2026 (IFD), held at the Ministry of Economy and Finance on April 15th in Paris, reaffirming our leading position in the French sustainable finance ecosystem. This leading financial event in France brought together major stakeholders to discuss the theme: “Reconciling the green transition and sovereignty.”
Jean-Jacques Barbéris, Head of Institutional and Corporate Clients Division and ESG at Amundi participated in a high-level roundtable entitled "Europe at a crossroads: how can we reinvent the Green New Deal?", alongside Pascal Canfin, Member of the European Parliament, and Enrico Letta, Former President of the Italian Council of Ministers, among others..
Key Takeaways:
Europe’s ecological transition and strategic autonomy are not conflicting priorities; accelerating decarbonisation would reduce exposure to geopolitical shocks and lower Europe’s energy import dependence.
Delivering Europe’s transition and competitiveness goals will require greater private capital mobilisation, including more effective channeling of European household savings.
A more harmonised and simplified European regulatory framework is emerging, providing financial players and corporates the clarity and visibility needed to act.ers in discussions on the green transition and its financing.
Beyond the roundtable, our delegation, representing several divisions including Alternative and Real Assets, Fixed Income, Responsible Investing, Amundi ETF and others, actively engaged with peers in discussions on the green transition and its financing.
