EZB: Lagarde warnt: „Kosten des Klimawandels steigen und Schocks lassen sich womöglich schwerer abfedern“
Die Folgen des Klimawandels und ihr Einfluss auf die Finanz- und Preisstabilität liegen Lagarde sehr am Herzen. Vor Beginn der Weltklimakonferenz äußert sie einen Appell an die Politik.
Berlin - In an entry published on the ECB blog website on Wednesday, ECB President Christine Lagarde warned of the consequences of climate change. "The costs of climate change are rising, and future shocks may be harder to cushion," she stated. "Extreme heat will become more frequent and intense, and the consequences will hit those least able to withstand them the hardest," she wrote.
Europe has the means to counteract this trend, Lagarde said, and they owe it to future generations to face these scorching summers. Climate change impacts are very important to Lagarde. Under her leadership, the ECB has integrated the influence of climate conditions on several levels more deeply into its monetary policy and banking supervision, particularly in terms of price and financial stability.
However, this approach is controversial among experts, with critics arguing that the ECB is overstepping its mandate.
