1 Introduction
Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to start by thanking the BCB - Banco Central do Brasil - and the German GIZ[for hosting this well thought out regulatory webinar. Let me also applaud the BCB for its Strategic "Agenda BC#".
"Agenda BC#" is a landmark statement on priorities of the central bank of Brazil, confirming its longstanding environmental commitment and shaping its DNA for the future.

BCB joined the Network for Greening the Financial System this year. This network, also called NGFS, is a coalition of 75 central banks and supervisors to combat climate change with joint efforts globally. As a founding member, Bundesbank very much welcomes BCB's membership.
