Energy transition and biodiversity : a difficult union

The year 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the Convention on Biological Diversity. And yet, while major global forums – COP 15 in Montreal in December, the International Seabed Authority Council in Kingston and the One Forest Summit in Libreville in March – have punctuated the news in recent months, a detailed understanding of biodiversity issues is still limited to a college of experts. The climate threat has long dominated political, economic and media debates, with many believing that the fight against climate change automatically goes hand in hand with the preservation of life. Yet while the consequences of biodiversity loss may seem less glaring than climate catastrophes, their scale is enough to make you break out in a cold sweat: we're on the verge of a sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate 100 to 1,000 times higher than the natural rate; almost 75% of terrestrial environments and 40% of marine ecosystems are reportedly already degraded.

Points of view – 1 question, 3 experts : Why is the just transition a key element of climate strategies ?

Everyone agrees on the need to take into account the impacts of the climate transition on workers, communities, consumers and citizens, if we want to achieve a rapid change towards a low-carbon economy. Recognising the urgency and the key role that the private sector must play in financing the transition, we decided to integrate the social and territorial dimension of the Just Transition into our new global fixed-income impact bond strategy (SFDR 9). We invest 100% in sustainable bonds which we have identified with a solid Just Transition profile, according to our proprietary methodologies.
