“Climate and Development” strategy for 2017-2022, based on four goals: i. Ensuring its activity is “100% Paris Agreement”: making all the Group’s financing consistent with resilient and low-carbon development, in particular by adopting a new framework of questioning for the “sustainable development” analysis of projects; ii. Increasing climate finance volumes: 50% of the Group’s annual financing in foreign countries targets projects with co-benefits for the climate, reaching €5bn per year for climate protection by 2020, of which €1.5bn is devoted to adaptation measures; iii. Redirecting financial and investment flows: maximising the knock-on effect of its financing to redirect private and local investments; developing new high-volume, high- impact instruments; and integrating financial climate risks (physical and transition-related) in its risks analysis and credit decision processes; iv. Co-developing solutions and shaping standards, in particular through its partnership strategy and by participating in major international events and in discussions on climate finance and support for knowledge production.
