In June 2020, we released the 1st edition of the Sustainable Crisis Response Toolbox, providing central banks and financial supervisors with options to align their crisis response measures with sustainability goals. The Toolbox set out measures in three broad categories – monetary, prudential and ‘other’ – and includes nine types of tools. This 2nd edition of the Toolbox significantly expands the empirical assessment of the crisis response of central banks and supervisors globally and examines how far central banks are incorporating climate and other environmental factors into their COVID-19 strategies and wider operations.
