Since the beginning of the crisis in 2008, countless G20 and EU Summits have not managed to stop or even slow the plunge our economies are taking.

A chance to reconcile our lifestyles - the way we live, produce and consume - with the physical limits of our planet.

One of its many aspects is a massive investment programme in clean energy projects, mobility, buildings and industrial production, to name a few examples. So how exactly are we going to pay for all this?
