The ECB’s climate and nature plan: our path to a greener future

What lies ahead on our path to a greener future? How can we assess the impact of extreme weather on the economy? And how can we tackle financial risks from nature loss and degradation? With its new climate and nature plan, the ECB is stepping up its work in these areas over the next two years.

Our host Stefania Secola discusses this and more with the head of the ECB’s climate change centre, Irene Heemskerk.

The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank.
