A complete U-turn! Until a month ago, climate
was not even an item on the ECB's political agenda.
Thanks to your mobilization and the excellent work of NGOs,
ECB President Christine Lagarde has for the first time
committed herself to "greener" structural changes*.
And tomorrow, at its strategy meeting, the ECB could turn its
words into acts by deciding to make climate THE priority of
its new monetary policy.
Now is the time to put our demands forward! That's why, we have
created a very short and simple survey to gather the views
of those concerned, namely YOU, on what the ECB's priorities should
be.
It’s high time to remind the ECB of its mission: work for
people and the planet, not the industrial and financial
lobbies. Vladimir, please take a minute to express your
opinion:
Results will be handed directly to the President of the ECB,
Christine Lagarde.
TAKE
THE SURVEY
So far, the ECB has always refused to put our environmental and
social priorities at the heart of its decisions. In order to
preserve "stability", the ECB simply keeps on financing all
companies, including the biggest polluters, those convicted
of fraud or even arms manufacturers!
As the ECB is in the midst of a strategic review of its monetary
policy, it has set up a public consultation, a procedure open to
all, that should make it possible to evaluate its monetary
policy and adapt it.
The thing is, the official form is long, complicated and some
questions seem totally disconnected from our concrete concerns.
That’s why we have decided to offer you a very short, simplified
survey to gather YOUR views on the ECB's priorities.
Let's show the ECB that these discussions will not take
place without us. We are in a state of climate emergency
and there is no way we will let the ECB get away with "future"
environmental commitments, we must take action
now.
