Climate change-related statistical indicators

Climate change entails risks to the global economy and impacts financial stability. Beyond managing related risks, the financial sector can also contribute to the transition toward a net-zero economy. Guided by the ECB’s climate and nature plan, this paper discusses the methodology and key findings of statistical indicators developed in three areas: sustainable finance, carbon emissions, and physical risk. Our work aims to enhance data transparency in climate change analysis, while informing monetary policy, financial stability and banking supervision.

It would be designed to have no material impact on financial stability or the transmission of monetary policy.
