Climate change, nature degradation and the ECB
We are firmly committed to taking climate change and nature degradation into account, within our mandate.
Climate change and nature degradation pose risks to our economy and the financial sector. We need to assess how these risks and the transition to a carbon-neutral society affect our economy, so that we can account for their impact in our work as a central bank and banking supervisor. This will help us to keep prices stable and banks safe.
Our approach
We are already taking action where possible within our mandate. And we continuously adapt our work on climate and nature to reflect the ongoing improvements in the data and models we use to understand climate and nature-related risks.
