Le paradoxe des retraites : garantir les rendements, éroder l’avenir – Une délibération ouverte
Pension funds are central to retirement planning today, but their portfolios are financing the climate instability, biodiversity loss, and social erosion that degrade returns over the timeframes that matter. The mandate to deliver smooth returns is structurally self-defeating. This session confronts that paradox head-on, looking at what the numbers actually show, what fiduciary duty means when systemic risk is dominant, and what a pension system designed for the 21st century could look like.
