Quantitative Easing and Climate Change: A Case Study

Abstract

In the context of increasing global climate change, this article takes an in-depth look at how central banks can use quantitative easing to help address this issue. Based on three research methods: Green Bond, SDGs Bond, Carbon Trading Market and Carbon Reduction Project, this paper analyzes the pros and cons of specific measures of quantitative easing in dealing with climate change. The study found that the above three types of quantitative easing policies can effectively guide funds to green industries, promote green economy and sustainable development, and thus mitigate the economic impact of climate change. This research not only provides a new perspective for central bank policy making, but also provides investors with new opportunities for green investment. This paper suggests that the central bank should increase its support for green projects when formulating quantitative easing policies, and encourage investors to actively participate in green investment to jointly promote the response to climate change.
