Stability Through Sustainability
Summary
A manifesto signed by over 40 civil society organisations urging the European Central Bank to align its monetary policy with climate goals through green refinancing, the exclusion of carbon-intensive collateral, and the redirection of asset purchases toward sustainable firms.
Key insights
- The European Central Bank's current monetary policy is viewed as supporting the fossil fuel-driven status quo, while climate-related shocks such as heatwaves and droughts are actively driving inflation and threatening financial stability.
- The document proposes three specific policy changes for the ECB: introducing green refinancing operations with lower interest rates for green projects, excluding carbon-intensive assets from its collateral framework, and shifting asset purchases toward firms with strong sustainability performance.
