European Tool Guide: How to ask your central bank to act for and not against climate

The guide asserts that the European Central Bank (ECB) and national central banks contribute to a high-carbon economy by providing cash to financial actors and purchasing bonds without considering climate impacts.

• European central banks, including the ECB and national banks, influence the economy by providing cash to financial actors and purchasing bonds from corporations, financial players, and public institutions, a practice that has intensified since 2014 and during the Covid crisis.
• Central banks in Europe are currently financing polluting companies and supporting a high-carbon economy because they do not account for the climate impacts of their financial actions.
