Zero by 2030 & The Role of Central Banks

Panel Discussion

In this event we will look at how Central Banks like the European Central Bank can play their part in confronting the climate emergency by following two clear steps:

Step 1. Stop making things worse. This means stopping all direct funding of fossil fuel projects and companies, and using their regulatory authority to also make it impossible for commercial banks to keep pouring more fuel on the fire.

Step 2. Helping solve things. Dedicated mechanisms such as a climate bad bank can provide funding for a swift transition to zero fossils without disruption of the financial system.
