Speak your mind ????

We need to make sure the ECB hears our call for climate action. Take 2 minutes to fill in a short survey about what you think the ECB’s priorities should be, and we’ll make sure that it reaches those in charge.
The European Central Bank (ECB) could become a leading force for climate action in Europe, if it started prioritising people and the planet when deciding where its money goes. So far, they’ve made promises - but taken no real action.

The good news is that the ECB has said they’ll listen to the public to guide their new policy, and this is a perfect opportunity for us to speak our minds straight to those in charge.

However, the online form they’re using to gather feedback is difficult to navigate and full of impenetrable jargon. So, to make sure we can all participate, we’ve set up a survey that makes it a lot easier to demand urgent climate action from the bank - all it takes is a few minutes of your time. We'll make sure all of our responses make it into the Bank's consultation inbox!

Take 2 minutes to fill in this short survey about what you think the ECB’s priorities should be, and we’ll make sure that it reaches those in charge.

So far, the ECB has refused to prioritise the climate crisis in its decision-making. Instead, the Bank keeps on financing polluting fossil fuel companies, despite knowing full well that they are responsible for creating the climate crisis we are in. [1]

Now, the ECB is in the midst of reviewing its policies. It's a once-in-a-decade opportunity for us to raise our voices and demand changes in the bank’s direction. No more money to polluters - instead, fund a clean, green, just recovery!

But the official ECB consultation form is long, complicated and some of the questions seem totally disconnected from our urgent concerns. Instead, our short, simplified survey allows us to gather the views of concerned people like you and me from all over Europe, and bring them to the ECB all at once. And if enough of us speak up, the ECB will have no choice but to listen - that's the beauty of an official consultation process!

Let's show the ECB that these discussions will not take place without us. These are policies that will affect all of us and impact our future. We demand that our voices are heard.

Together, we can tell the ECB: support people, not polluters!

Fill in this short survey to tell the European Central Bank what its priorities should be - it takes less than 2 minutes!
