Mobiliser l’épargne pour financer la transition

The document highlights a contradiction between the desire of French and European citizens to support the ecological transition and the reality that their savings are invested by financial institutions into fossil fuels. It identifies a lack of transparency and poor accessibility as the primary obstacles to sustainable saving.

• There is a significant gap between public opinion and financial reality: while 80% of French people want to move away from fossil fuels and 77% of Europeans view climate change as a very serious problem, EU banks have allocated $767 billion to the top 100 fossil fuel expanders since the Paris Agreement.
• Meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets requires massive investment increases, estimated at 620 to 1,000 billion euros annually for the EU and 66 to 110 billion euros annually for France alone.
• Two primary obstacles hinder the shift toward sustainable savings: a lack of transparency regarding the environmental impact of financial products—despite regulations like the SFDR—and insufficient accessibility, exacerbated by the fact that 2024 tax advantages and investment aids do not account for product sustainability.
