Klimato kaita ir ECB
ECB ieško būdų, kaip galėtų veiksmingai prisidėti prie kovos su klimato kaita. Pirmiausia norime nustatyti, kokią riziką klimato kaita gali kelti ekonomikai ir finansų sistemai. Ekonomikai klimato kaitos rizika gali kilti dėl ekstremalių meteorologinių reiškinių ir dėl nežinomybės, susijusios su perėjimu prie mažo anglies dioksido kiekio technologijų ekonomikos.
„Peržiūrėdami savo strategiją, sieksime nustatyti, kur ir kaip klimato kaitos klausimas ir kova su klimato kaita gali turėti realaus poveikio mūsų vykdomai politikai.“
ECB Pirmininkė Christine Lagarde
ECB pagal savo kompetenciją veikia keturiose srityse
Ekonominė analizė
ECB darbuotojai rūpinasi, kad ECB makroekonominiuose modeliuose, prognozavimo metoduose ir rizikos vertinimuose būtų atsižvelgiama į klimato kaitos iššūkius.
Bankų priežiūra
Priežiūros tarnyba bendrauja su bankais ir siekia juos kuo geriau informuoti apie riziką, kylančią dėl klimato kaitos, kad jie galėtų tinkamai tokią riziką valdyti.
Pinigų politika ir investicijų portfeliai
Pagal ECB turto pirkimo programas investavome ir į žaliąsias obligacijas, kartu siekdami užtikrinti, kad tokios investicijos neiškreiptų rinkos.
Finansinis stabilumas
Finansinio stabilumo ekspertai apskaičiuoja ir vertina riziką, kurią finansų sistemai kelia klimato kaita. Apie jų darbo rezultatus informuojama visuomenė, rinkos dalyviai ir politikos formuotojai.
Eurosistemos atsakas į Europos Komisijos atnaujintą tvaraus finansavimo strategiją
ECB ir eurą įsivedusių šalių nacionaliniai centriniai bankai yra pasirengę teikti pagalbą Europos Komisijai rengiant tvaraus finansavimo strategiją ir gerinant nefinansinės informacijos atskleidimą. Reaguodami į Komisijos paskelbtas viešas konsultacijas, nustatėme penkis pagrindinius prioritetus.

Žaliasis ECB
Nuolat stengiamės mažinti ECB ekologinį pėdsaką. Jei norite sužinoti, kiek mums jau pavyko pasiekti, apsilankykite mūsų svetainės puslapyje Aplinkos apsauga.
Žemės valanda
ECB šioje akcijoje dalyvauja nuo 2012 m. Išjungdami šviesas savo pagrindiniame pastate, siekiame didinti sąmoningumą klimato kaitos klausimais.
Finansų sistemos žalinimo tinklas
ECB yra Finansų sistemos žalinimo tinklo (angl. Network for Greening the Financial System, NGFS) narys. Šis tinklas – tai penkių žemynų centrinių bankų ir finansų priežiūros institucijų atstovų grupė, ieškanti būdų, kaip užtikrinti sklandų perėjimą prie mažo anglies dioksido kiekio technologijų ekonomikos.

ECB tinklalaidė: klimato kaita ir centrinių bankų vaidmuo
Koks yra klimato kaitos poveikis finansiniam stabilumui? Kodėl ECB neperka daugiau žaliųjų obligacijų? Kaip bankai gali geriau pasirengti su klimato kaita susijusiai rizikai? Mūsų laidų vedėjas Michaelis Steenas diskutuoja šiomis temomis su ekspertais Fatima Pires, Madelaine Roos ir Patricku Amis.

Finance and decarbonisation: why equity markets do it betterAbstract
JEL Classification
G10 : Financial Economics→General Financial Markets→General
O4 : Economic Development, Technological Change, and Growth→Economic Growth and Aggregate Productivity
Q5 : Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics→Environmental Economics
Abstract
This article provides evidence that economies receiving more funding from stock markets than credit markets generate fewer carbon emissions. Increasing the equity financing share to one-half globally would reduce aggregate per capita emissions by about one-quarter of the Paris Agreement commitment. Our findings call for supporting equity-based initiatives rather than policies aimed at decarbonising the European economy through the banking sector.

Finance and carbon emissionsAbstract
JEL Classification
G10 : Financial Economics→General Financial Markets→General
O4 : Economic Development, Technological Change, and Growth→Economic Growth and Aggregate Productivity
Q5 : Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics→Environmental Economics
Abstract
We study the relation between the structure of financial systems and carbon emissions in a large panel of countries and industries over the period 1990-2013. We find that for given levels of economic and financial development and environmental regulation, CO2 emissions per capita are lower in economies that are relatively more equity-funded. Industry-level analysis reveals two distinct channels. First, stock markets reallocate investment towards less polluting sectors. Second, they also push carbon-intensive sectors to develop and implement greener technologies. In line with this second effect, we show that carbon-intensive sectors produce more green patents as stock markets deepen. We also document an increase in carbon emissions associated with the production of imported goods equal to around one-tenth of the reduction in domestic carbon emissions.

Climate change and financial stabilityAbstract
JEL Classification
G01 : Financial Economics→General→Financial Crises
G18 : Financial Economics→General Financial Markets→Government Policy and Regulation
G20 : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→General
Q54 : Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics→Environmental Economics→Climate, Natural Disasters, Global Warming
Abstract
This special feature discusses the channels through which climate change can affect financial stability and illustrates the exposure of euro area financial institutions to risks from climate change with the help of granular data. Notwithstanding currently limited data availability, the analysis shows that climate change-related risks have the potential to become systemic for the euro area, in particular if markets are not pricing the risks correctly. A deeper understanding of the relevance of climate change-related risks for the euro area financial system at large is therefore needed. Better data availability and comparability and the development of a forward-looking framework for risk assessments are important aspects of this work going forward.

The Green Golden Rule: habit and anticipation of future consumptionAbstract
JEL Classification
D90 : Microeconomics→Intertemporal Choice→General
Q56 : Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics→Environmental Economics→Environment and Development, Environment and Trade, Sustainability, Environmental Accounts and Accounting, Environmental Equity, Population Growth
G20 : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→General
Q54 : Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics→Environmental Economics→Climate, Natural Disasters, Global Warming
Abstract
We derive the Green Golden Rule (GGR) in the Habit Formation (HF) and Anticipation of Future Consumption (AFC) frameworks. Since consumption is the key variable of GGR, time non-separabilities in preferences over consumption streams, given by the AFC and HF, may have important impacts on the environment and sustainability. We demonstrate that agents who smooth their consumption patterns, according to the HF hypothesis, are more likely to preserve the environment than those who anticipate future consumption or who do not so smooth consumption.
