Fighting climate change has become the major priority of public policy in a great number of countries, and central banks have been called on to contribute. Some have shown an inclination to internalise climate change in their policy objectives and frameworks. Others are more reluctant.

In this study group, Landau will present a framework to think about the issue and identify some major trade-offs and choices. For further information on the topic, please review Landau's article: .
