"Environmental health: Paris Fonds Vert: green and responsible finance "

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Paris Fonds Vert: green and responsible finance
With a ten-year lifespan, Paris Fonds Vert intends to gather together primarily private financing and invest it in SMEs with strong development potential that will develop new solutions in the sectors of environmental transition for Paris and its population.
The companies that receive funding must be able to demonstrate their contribution to the Paris Climate Plan objectives and operate in one of the following target sectors: sustainable buildings and housing, sustainable urban mobility and logistics, green energies, air quality improvement, innovative waste management, and information and communication technologies in the service of climate preservation. They must also be committed to a high level of social and environmental responsibility (CSR).
