Abstract
Nature is crucial to human wellbeing and provides essential ecosystem services that support economic activity. However, the economic value of these services is often undervalued because they are not traded in markets or given a direct monetary value. Nature degradation, including biodiversity loss, threatens the continued provision of these critical services, potentially leading to significant macroeconomic consequences that affect price and financial stability. Recent analysis by the European Central Bank (ECB) revealed that nearly three-quarters of the euro area economy and financial system are critically dependent on healthy ecosystems. Therefore, a systematic, proactive and comprehensive approach to quantifying and assessing the impact of escalating nature-related economic and financial risks on price and financial stability is essential. This article discusses the implications from a central banking perspective, emphasising the importance of an integrated approach to climate change and nature-related risks. It further explores the impact of these risks on our economy and seeks a deeper understanding of the physical impacts of climate change.

Abstract
Substantial green and digital investments will be needed to reach the targets set for 2030 and beyond under the Green Deal and the Digital Compass. The EU faces a large gap in funding for these investment needs, raising the question of how private capital can be best mobilised to bridge the gap. This box presents an overview of estimates of green and digital investment needs and discusses some of the challenges to be met, in particular in terms of funding needs
