EDHEC Speaker Series: Jean Boissinot (Banque de France)

We will hear from Jean Boissinot, deputy director (financial stability) at Banque de France and Head of the NGFS Secretariat about the development of green finance from a macro and policy perspective. Green and sustainable finance has become a mainstream trend in the financial sector. Yet, its role in the transition remains poorly understood and its value is something being questioned. Jean Boissinot will draw from a first-hand experience in the development of the global policy agenda and his involvement into various private sector initiatives to propose an understanding of what to expect (and what not to expect) from green and sustainable finance. His talk will draw from this recent book "La Finance verte" published in November 2022 (édition Dunod).

EDHEC discussants are David Zerbib, associate professor & EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute Affiliate Member, and Emmanuel Jurczenko, director of graduate finance programmes.
