Klimata pārmaiņas un ECB
ECB meklē veidus, kā efektīvi iesaistīties cīņā pret klimata pārmaiņām. Viens no mūsu uzdevumiem ir identificēt riskus, ko klimata pārmaiņas rada tautsaimniecībai un finanšu sistēmai. Klimata pārmaiņu ietekme uz tautsaimniecību var izpausties ārkārtas laikapstākļu veidā un nenoteiktībā, kas saistīta ar pāreju uz zemas oglekļa emisijas tautsaimniecību.
"Mūsu stratēģijas izvērtējuma ietvaros mēs noskaidrosim, kādās jomās un kādos veidos klimata pārmaiņu jautājums un cīņa pret klimata pārmaiņām var reāli ietekmēt mūsu politiku."

ECB darbojas četrās svarīgākajās kompetences jomās
Tautsaimniecības analīze
ECB darbinieki gādā, lai ECB makroekonomiskajos modeļos, prognozēšanas metodēs un risku novērtējumā būtu ņemtas vērā klimata pārmaiņas.
Banku uzraudzība
Uzraugi strādā ar bankām, lai vairotu izpratni par klimata pārmaiņu izraisītajiem riskiem. Mūsu mērķis ir nodrošināt, lai bankas atbilstoši pārvaldītu šos riskus.
Monetārā politika un ieguldījumu portfeļi
ECB aktīvu iegādes programmu ietvaros esam veikuši ieguldījumus zaļajās obligācijās, ņemot vērā nepieciešamību izvairīties no tirgus izkropļojumiem.
Finanšu stabilitāte
Finanšu stabilitātes eksperti aplēš un novērtē riskus, ko finanšu sistēmai rada klimata pārmaiņas. Viņu konstatējumi tiek paziņoti sabiedrībai, tirgus dalībniekiem un politikas veidotājiem.
Eurosistēmas reakcija uz Eiropas Komisijas atjaunoto ilgtspējīgu finanšu stratēģiju
ECB un euro zonas nacionālās centrālās bankas gatavas atbalstīt Eiropas Komisijas darbu ilgtspējīgas finanšu stratēģijas izstrādē un nefinanšu informācijas atklāšanas uzlabošanā. Reaģējot uz Komisijas sabiedrisko apspriešanu, esam identificējuši piecas galvenās prioritātes.

Zemes stunda
ECB šajā pasākumā piedalās kopš 2012. gada. Izslēdzot gaismu galvenajā ēkā, mēs vēlamies pievērst uzmanību klimata pārmaiņām.
Finanšu sistēmas ekoloģizācijas tīkls (Greening the Financial System; NGFS)
ECB ir NGFS locekle. NGFS ir visu piecu kontinentu centrālo banku un finanšu uzraudzības iestāžu grupa, kas meklē veidus, kā veicināt raitu pāreju uz zemas oglekļa emisijas tautsaimniecību.
Podkāsts
ECB podkāsts par klimata pārmaiņām un centrālo banku lomu
Kā klimata pārmaiņas ietekmē finanšu stabilitāti? Kāpēc ECB neiegādājas vairāk zaļo obligāciju? Kā bankas var labāk sagatavoties ar klimata pārmaiņām saistītajiem riskiem? Podkāsta moderators Maikls Stīns (Michael Steen) apspriež šos jautājumus ar pieaicinātajiem ekspertiem Fatimu Piresu (Fatima Pires), Madlēnu Rūsu (Madelaine Roos) un Patriku Amī (Patrick Amis).

The implications of fiscal measures to address climate change Economic Bulletin Issue 2, 2020
Abstract
JEL Classification
E3 : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Prices, Business Fluctuations, and Cycles
Q58 : Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics→Environmental Economics→Government Policy
E62 : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Macroeconomic Policy, Macroeconomic Aspects of Public Finance, and General Outlook→Fiscal PolicyAbstract
This box assesses the impact of fiscal measures to address climate change on growth and inflation over the March 2020 ECB staff projection horizon. Policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU comprise: (a) the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and (b) national measures in sectors which are not covered by the ETS. Overall, the baseline assumes some impact of climate measures on prices related to the German climate package, while the assumed impact of measures in other countries is limited.

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.

The Green Golden Rule: habit and anticipation of future consumptionAbstract

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.

The impact of disasters on inflationAbstract

Q54 : Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics, Environmental and Ecological Economics→Environmental Economics→Climate, Natural Disasters, Global Warming

Abstract
This paper studies how disasters aff ect consumer price inflation, one of the main remaining gaps in our understanding of the impact of disasters. There is a marked heterogeneity in the impact between advanced economies, where the impact is negligible, and developing economies, where the impact can last for several years. There are also di fferences in the impact by type of disasters, particularly when considering inflation sub-indices. Storms in- crease food price inflation in the near term, although the eff ect dissipates within a year. Floods also typically have a short-run impact on inflation. Earthquakes reduce CPI inflation excluding food, housing and energy.
