Sustainable finance is key to a sustainable future

Sustainable finance is an integral part of a more sustainable future, but it won’t fix the world’s problems overnight. “Even if we all want to go to work tomorrow in electric vehicles, and have our groceries delivered in electric trucks, we’re not there yet,” said BMO Quebec President Grégoire Baillargeon in an interview with McGill Desautels Prof. Karl Moore for Les Affaires. “We need to find technologies to decarbonize, but these types of projects require enormous amounts of money. Sustainable finance is needed to make the investments necessary to build these tools.”
