Key highlights from the #Degrowth #Debate recently organized by Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking in Paris under the topic: ’Are degrowth patterns available in a #sustainable debate?‘, discussing the future of #sustainability trends, among which the topic of degrowth, and whether or not we can avoid it. #GreenSummit Thierry Déau
Natixis CIB was pleased to host its #GreenSummit on November 19th to discuss the future of #sustainability trends; among which the topic of #degrowth and whether or not we can avoid it. 📢 Moderated by Debate Mate, a global social business dedicated to teaching communication and leadership skills in businesses and schools around the world, participants had the opportunity to engage in this topic via an interactive British-style debate. After the audience warmed up through mini-debates in smaller groups where all participants could share their thoughts, the Showcase Debate opposed two teams of three speakers around the motion: “This House believes that degrowth patterns are unavoidable in a sustainable future”. 🌱 〽️On the Proposition Side, Karen Degouve and Karina Litvack, supported by Rushma Khan argued that ever since the Industrial Revolution, our societies have been addicted to growth and its corollaries: consumption, wealth, and fossil fuels, despite growth being the primary driver of environmental degradation, now putting the future habitability of the planet at risk. 🌏 The economy’s primary objective should be to meet human needs and reduce inequalities, and therefore focus on wellbeing, quality of life and happiness rather than just GDP growth. Degrowth will inevitably strike us, so the key is to manage it and leverage the opportunities it can afford, through selective degrowth, a process that is a natural consequence of innovation (has anyone seen a Kodak camera lately 👀?). 💹 On the Opposition Side, Thierry Déau and Geneviève Ferone Creuzet, assisted by Tasha M., questioned the degrowth concept and its consequences, especially on demographics and collective happiness. They pleaded for decoupling growth from resource consumption and claimed that to conduct the transformative (ecological) actions needed, we could not actively decide to shrink the economy but rather proactively solve current problems by channeling our addiction to growth into positive innovation. 🚀 A lively, thought-provoking debate on an (unavoidable) topic when it comes to seriously discussing the future of sustainability ♻️ , organized by Rebecca Smith, Thomas Benete, Maeva Huguet, Hugo Van Mol and Maeve Devi Carroll.

🌍On this international #WorldSustainableTransportDay, learn more about some of Meridiam’s projects promoting more environmentally friendly transportation modes. We're passionate about implementing sustainable transport projects that benefit people and the planet. 🚎The Dakar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Senegal: a fully battery powered 100% electric bus fleet solution in Dakar. With an expected 300,000 passengers/day travelling between the suburbs and the city center, the BRT project improves traffic conditions, accessibility and eventually air quality. https://lnkd.in/ez7K-h9z 🛣️The A2 Phase II motorway in Poland: This project provides a modern motorway link connecting Warsaw and Berlin (Germany), supporting national and local economic growth. Various measures to protect the environment have been undertaken: The two phases of the project (Phase I and II) include 45 crossings for large and medium sized animals and 122 culverts for small animals providing a specific protection for herpetofauna https://lnkd.in/eKeUBEzB 🛣️The L2 Marseille by-pass in France: consisting in the design, construction and maintenance of a 9.5km bypass in Marseille (south of France). This project relieves part of the traffic, increasing road capacity by 50%, reducing travel time and air pollution in Marseille compared to 2014. In 2021, we partnered with an eco-treatment firm to enhance the Frais Vallon water basin. This self-sustaining ecosystem boosts plant filtration and cuts maintenance costs. https://lnkd.in/eg5VPfx6 🛣️The C70 Highway in the USA: upgraded a 10-mile (16km) stretch of the highway 70 in Denver, Colorado. The project notably consisted in adding a new Express Lane in each direction and placing a 4-acre recreation and environmentally friendly park over a portion of a lowered interstate. The Central 70 Project reduced congestion and improved safety along this vital transportation corridor.https://https://lnkd.in/esnVyYkM #SustainableMobility #SustainableTransportation #Meridiam #ForThePeopleAndThePlanet

Aujourd’hui débute à Paris Ambition Africa, l'événement business de référence organisé par Business France pour accompagner les entreprises françaises sur le continent africain. Thierry Déau, PDG et fondateur de #Meridiam, a participé à un panel sur la thématique de l’#économieAfricaine de demain. Plusieurs sujets tels que les perspectives d'avenir pour le continent africain ont été abordés lors de cette discussion. Pour Thierry Déau, les populations et l'#environnement sont au coeur des engagements de Meridiam : « En Afrique comme partout ailleurs, nous plaçons la rentabilité financière de nos projets au même niveau que leurs bénéfices sociaux et environnementaux. » « Il faut renforcer, faire grandir les #compétences en Afrique, pour améliorer la préparation des projets sur le continent et nourrir ainsi les administrations locales. Celles-ci doivent être en mesure de travailler avec le secteur privé, ce qui nécessite une constance dans les objectifs poursuivis. » estime Thierry Déau. #AmbitionAfrica Ministères Économiques et Financiers Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères Direction générale du Trésor (French Treasury) Fatimata Wane-Sagna Christian Yoka Nadia FETTAH Samir Salem Mouti Jerome Petit

How to close the #climatefinancing gap to meet new climate goals? My fellow Bretton Woods Committee colleagues Afsaneh Beschloss and Creon Butler have led a new report published yesterday that lays out concrete steps for the MDBs to mobilize meaningful amounts of #privateinvestment to do just that. Some key takeaways: - Progress is being made in increasing the proportion of private finance directed to #greeninvestment. But this is not happening fast enough, and the climate finance gap faced by low-income and emerging economies is acute. At the same time, AI and data centers are intensifying power needs in developed countries, which will create a negative impact on capital and other inputs for clean energy in low-income countries. - It is critical to pull private finance to green investment by improving the effectiveness of available public international finance and increasing the proportion used to facilitate genuine risk bearing in conjunction with the private sector and developing a mechanism under which this can happen without imposing residual contingent risks on advanced country-donors. #BrettonWoodsInstitutions #Meridiam #forpeopleandtheplanet #blendedfinance #impactinvesting Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eQFDs6By
Redirecting private sector funding towards net zero is both possible and essential to close the climate finance gap. BWC’s upcoming report, Mobilizing Private Finance for Climate Action and Energy Transitions, outlines innovative ways to attract private finance and drive progress toward net zero.

Thrilled to be on the ground this week with DRIVE SMART Virginia as we bring the ThinkFast Interactive® program to local high schools! Through a dynamic, game-show-style assembly, we’re helping young drivers understand the importance of safe driving habits—covering critical topics like distracted driving, seat belt use, and driving at safe speeds. With teen driver fatalities up by 50% in Virginia this year, it’s more crucial than ever to empower students with the tools they need to stay safe. Thank you to DRIVE SMART Virginia for your dedication to this important cause, and to Patriot High School, Westfield High School, and Fairfax High School for hosting us this week. Together, we’re building a safer future on our roads. #TeenDriverSafety #ThinkFast #DRIVESMART #66Express #Safer66
