MNI BRIEF: Dutch Official To Lead ECB Climate Change Centre

LONDON (MNI)

Irene Heemskerk will head up the European Central Bank's new Climate Change Centre, it was announced Friday. Heemskerk, who will start on June 15 and report to ECB president Christine Lagarde, is currently a Sustainability Fellow at the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation. She previously held positions at the Dutch central bank and the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

The ECB launched its climate change centre earlier in 2021 as it looks to shape its climate agenda both internally and externally, "building on the expertise of all teams already working on climate-related topics at the bank."
