Climate change and the ECB
We are firmly committed to doing our part to address climate change, within our mandate.
Climate change poses risks to our economy and the financial sector. We need to assess how climate change and the transition to a carbon-neutral society affect our economy, so that we can account for their influence on our work as a central bank and banking supervisor. This will help us to keep prices stable and banks safe.
Our approach
Our climate strategy will evolve over time as the data and models that we use to understand climate-related risks improve. In the meantime, we are already taking action wherever possible.
