Session Abstract

Climate change is affecting vital parts of economies at local and global levels. Climate risks intensify, affecting productivity, prices, and unemployment, and posing challenges to economic growth and financial stability. In these circumstances, central banks have begun to incorporate transition and physical risks into their economic and financial stability analyses. This policy session brings together experts from different Central Banks to discuss climate regulatory policies for sustainable economies, future perspectives in climate policymaking, and the role of central banks in the global effort of transitioning to a green economy. The discussion will center around the following key questions:

What is the role of Central Banks in climate regulation policies on the way to the net-zero goals?

How does climate change affect financial stability and monetary policy implementation, and what are the best-practice policies that help in preventing and circumventing those risks?

What are the challenges and opportunities in financing the green transition?
