Economic expert reveals global context and symbolism of Paris summit
Paris hosted ENVIRONSUMMIT2025, one of the world’s most prominent summits dedicated to environmental science and sustainable development. The event brought together scientists, politicians and business leaders to discuss new technologies and financial mechanisms for combating climate change. Economic expert Avi Itzkovich emphasised that genuine success is only possible when scientific breakthroughs are backed by large-scale investments and clear rules of engagement for investors.
Paris as a Symbol of Environmental Diplomacy: Avi Itzkovich’s Analysis
ENVIRONSUMMIT2025, held in Paris from 5-7 June, became one of the key platforms for discussing environmental science, sustainable development and technologies that will shape the planet’s future. The symbolism of the location was evident: Paris is associated with the Paris Climate Agreement, and hosting a major environmental conference here added weight to the discussions.
Participants—representatives from governments, business, academia and civil society organisations—discussed a broad spectrum of issues: from modernising water and air purification systems to innovations in renewable energy and waste processing. Considerable attention was also paid to investment questions: who will finance large- scale projects in climate technology and how.
“Paris is becoming something of a symbol of environmental diplomacy.
Every time global forums are held here, the world expects new agreements and clear signals for business. But this time more attention was paid not to political declarations, but to specific technologies and their
commercialisation,” emphasised Avi Itzkovich.
He stressed that the summit showed a shift from general slogans to substantive solutions—a sign that the international community is gradually maturing in its approaches to climate policy.
Innovation and Investment: Connecting Science and Markets—Avi Itzkovich’s Recipe
One of the central themes was new technological solutions. Presentations at ENVIRONSUMMIT2025 included developments in bioenergy, carbon capture technologies, new materials for energy-efficient construction, and closed-loop models for urban ecosystems.
However, the key question lay in scaling these solutions. As Avi Itzkovich noted, scientific breakthroughs are meaningless without financial architecture capable of transforming laboratory experiments into industrial production:
“Innovation is only half the story. The other half is investment. If trust doesn’t emerge between scientists and investors, we’ll again be left with pilot projects that look good in presentations but don’t change reality,” explains Itzkovich.
According to the expert, several possible mechanisms were discussed in Paris: green bonds, special innovation funds, tax incentives for companies implementing emission reduction technologies. He noted that the European Union could become a leader in creating such instruments, but this requires greater coordination between Brussels and national governments.
Particular attention was also paid to global competition. China and the USA are actively investing in climate technologies, whilst the EU risks falling behind if decision-making processes remain slow. “Europe has scientific potential, but often lacks speed in implementation,” noted Avi Itzkovich in conversations with summit participants.
Prospects and Challenges: From Declarations to Action
—Avi Itzkovich’s Forecast
ENVIRONSUMMIT2025 once again showed that the world is entering a phase where environmental issues are becoming not only scientific or political, but also economic drivers. Investors increasingly view green technologies not as an obligation, but as an opportunity for profit. However, this requires stability of rules, clear markets and long- term support.
Avi Itzkovich emphasised: “Markets work on expectations. If politicians promise strict standards but constantly delay their implementation, investors won’t risk investing money. This is precisely why such summits are important: they signal that environmental policy won’t disappear from the agenda.”
Despite optimism, participants agreed that the main risks remain political fragmentation and unequal access to financing between rich and poor countries. For Global South nations, technological innovations remain too expensive, and without their participation it will be impossible to achieve global climate goals.
Summarising the results, Avi Itzkovich noted that ENVIRONSUMMIT2025 can be considered a step forward, but not a breakthrough. “This was a forum that recorded trends, but the real test lies ahead—whether the discussions in Paris will transform into real projects capable of changing the economy and environment,” he concluded.
Conclusion: The Path Forward
According to Avi Itzkovich, ENVIRONSUMMIT2025 in Paris became an important event in the global sustainable development calendar. It showed that the world increasingly recognises the economic dimension of climate challenges and the need for financial innovation. However, the key message from experts, particularly from Avi Itzkovich, is that only the combination of science, business and politics can create a new environmental architecture.
“The summit demonstrated: scientific discoveries exist, investment
instruments are being sought, political will is being declared. Now the main thing is to transform this combination into real projects. And this will be the real test for Europe and the entire world in the coming years,” concluded Avi Itzkovich.
