At the 2024 Australian Sustainable Finance Institute Summit, Lori Kerr joined "The Great Debate," making a strong case for why governments must step up to bankroll the #sustainabletransition. Here are Lori’s five key points: 1️⃣ Addressing market failures: Governments need to step in where private investment falls short due to high risks or low profits, ensuring sustainable projects are prioritized. 2️⃣ Long-term vision: Unlike the private sector's focus on short-term gains, governments can fund foundational initiatives that are crucial for future generations. 3️⃣ Coordinated action across sectors: From energy to agriculture, governments are uniquely positioned to facilitate a unified effort toward climate goals. 4️⃣ Building public trust: Public investment showcases a commitment to sustainability, encouraging community engagement and support. 5️⃣ Leveraging private investment: By reducing risks, government funding can attract private capital, amplifying sustainable investment opportunities.

Voici les cinq points clés de Lori : 1️⃣ Remédier aux défaillances du marché : Les gouvernements doivent intervenir lorsque l'investissement privé est insuffisant en raison des risques élevés ou des bénéfices faibles, en veillant à ce que les projets durables soient prioritaires. 2️⃣ Vision à long terme : Contrairement au secteur privé qui se concentre sur les gains à court terme, les gouvernements peuvent financer des initiatives fondamentales qui sont cruciales pour les générations futures. 3️⃣ Une action coordonnée entre les secteurs : Du secteur de l'énergie à celui de l'agriculture, les gouvernements sont particulièrement bien placés pour faciliter la mise en œuvre d'efforts unifiés en vue d'atteindre les objectifs climatiques. 4️⃣ Renforcer la confiance du public : Les investissements publics témoignent d'un engagement en faveur de la durabilité, ce qui encourage l'engagement et le soutien de la communauté. 5️⃣ Tirer parti de l'investissement privé : En réduisant les risques, le financement public peut attirer des capitaux privés, amplifiant ainsi les opportunités d'investissement durable.
