How can we fund the green transition in Europe?

At The Mobility Sphere conference in Paris, climate expert and IPCC Lead Author François Gemenne addressed one of the biggest challenges of our time: how to finance the transition in a context of strained public budgets. 

His message is clear: we can’t rely solely on public funds anymore. With over €35 trillion in European savings, Gemenne calls for creative solutions to mobilize private investment. Europeans, he argues, are ready to invest in the transition, not just fund it—if the return is meaningful and the impact real.
