On June 16, 2021 at 17:00 CET - 18:00 CET, SOAS Centre for sustainable finance is holding a webinar "Climate-neutral central banking: How the european system of central banks can support the transition to net-zero".
The European Union has adopted the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 – in other words, an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. While the primary policy responsibility for delivering this goal rests with the European Commission and the member states’ governments, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the EU’s national central banks will also need to take action to complement, catalyse and amplify these net-zero policies within the financial system.
This event serves to launch a new policy report that sets out why central banks in the EU need to adopt net-zero strategies, and provides seven concrete recommendations for how they can. Participation is open to all, but prior registration is required.
