<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Central banks are playing a crucial role in shaping the responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Central banks have intervened on an unprecedented scale to avert a full-scale financial and economic meltdown\, leading for calls on central banks to also throw their full weight behind fighting climate change and supporting a just transition. Against this backdrop\, this LCAW event will discuss how central banks can fulfil their mandates for macro-financial stability and align their COVID-19 response measures with the Paris Agreement and avoid lock-in to a high-carbon recovery. It will also discuss whether a new era of central banking is dawning\, and if so\, what the new normal for central banks should look like in a decade from now.</p>
