Book Description
This book analyses the new strategic decisions of the European Central Bank. Contributors from different fields examine especially the sustainability strategy of the ECB: What role can the European Central Bank play in fighting climate change? ECB President Christine Lagarde has repeatedly confirmed that the central bank wants to play a role in coping with climate change. What will this role be? What instruments does the ECB have to make a difference in challenges such as the defossilization of the economy and transport, biodiversity, the energy transition, resource consumption and other sustainability areas? Is it entitled or obliged to go beyond the classic mandate of maintaining price stability? The volume includes contributions from academics and practitioners from the financial sector, civil society and institutions involved at European level.

Book Description
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt, language: English, abstract: To pursue a sustainable financial system, it will be essential to involve the financial sector, as well as its participants and authorities. This thesis discussed the role the European Central Bank could play in a transition towards a sustainable financial system. It outlined how climate-related risks can spread to the financial system and why central banks are concerned of them. While introducing possible instruments for a proactive role of the ECB in different policy areas, the thesis also pointed out the restrictions and risks of the ECB to engage. Next to the possible endangering of their institutional independence, the mandate of the ECB was investigated.

Book Description
This book examines selected actions and investments of the European Central Bank (ECB) from a climate and sustainability standpoint. Shedding new light on the topic from various angles – ethical, philosophical, political, economical and legal – it situates sustainability mainstreaming in the finance and investment field at all levels. The former ECB President Mario Draghi once said that he considered sustainable development and an intact environment to be human rights, and therefore enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The acting ECB President Christine Lagarde added that the future path for the climate is uncertain, but it would remain within our power to influence it. However, with all that in mind the ECB’s policy of buying assets as securities is often questionable. This volume analyzes these actions in connection with sustainability, and puts forward practical recommendations for improving the ECB’s investment strategy on its way creating a sustainable financial market.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the question, how Christine Lagarde wants to reorient the ECB's strategy and find answers to how the European Central Bank (ECB) could react to future developments such as climate change and if that is possible. In 2015, 190 parties have committed themselves to the Paris Agreement. This agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and many nations have drawn up their own climate protection plans to limit their emissions. However, since climate change is a global challenge, international cooperation is more effective, if not necessary. In December 2019, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proved her commitment to environmental friendliness by announcing the European Green Deal in terms of which no more net greenhouse gas emissions are to be released in the EU by 2050. Von der Leyen is supported by the President of the European Central Bank (ECB) Christine Lagarde. But does the ECB commit ultra vires in the process?

Book Description
The books deals with the questions that really matter for green finance: Where will the money to finance the transition to a low carbon environment come from, how far do the banks’ balance sheets stretch and where will the rest of the money come from? How much can we rely on the capital markets, especially in the EU, to get money to the parts of the economy which really need it, without greenwashing? How do governments organize not just a transition, but a just transition to a low carbon environment? Is it time to revisit received ideas about the proper role for central banks?

Book Description
This Open Access book presents a multidisciplinary perspective to increase our understanding of climate policies that are rooted in the natural moral inclinations of people, families and firms. Which policies prevent a widening gap between higher and lower educated people? Which policy instruments are there, and how could they be used? What is the role of free entrepreneurship? In this book, academics from different fields have brought together their knowledge and expertise to reflect on the following three questions: How are the polarised positions on climate change of different groups related to their moral outlook, world view, tradition, cultural norms and values? What is a good distribution of responsibilities between firms, households and the government relating to climate change? What are possible avenues where the climate policies are a natural extension of moral inclinations of families and firms, such as the stewardship for the natural environment and the climate? This book will be of interest to policy and decision-makers, students of social and behavioural sciences, and those interested climate change policies and how this effects our lives
