no Christine lagard doesn’t want to scrap cash to fight climate [Music] change a video is being shared on social media which allegedly shows Christine lagard president of the European Central Bank calling for the abolition of cash in order to reduce our carbon footprint according to this post on X lagard hopes to stop climate change by overhauling the entire economy including completely eliminating cash the post says it’s the biggest scam on the planet but really the closest thing to a scam here is the post itself other similar posts suggest that the ECB is planning to fully replace cash with a digital Euro which is currently under consideration in the attached video lagard does indeed mention re-evaluating the use of Bank notes to improve our carbon footprint but her words have been taken out of context nowhere does she mention getting rid of cash allog together instead a look at the ecb’s climate plans posted on its website in early 2024 shows what lagard was most likely getting out as part of its 2030 carbon reduction targets the ECB will work to include ecodesign principles for the future Euro bank note series and incorporate environmental footprint considerations into the design of a digital Euro that is currently in the preparation phase what that means is that the ECB is planning to print banknotes with 100% organic cotton by 2027 according to the bank’s climate and nature plan last December an ECP study showed that the average environmental footprint of banknote payments was 101 micro points per Euro area citizen in 2019 that’s the equivalent of driving a car for 8 km or 0.01% of the total environmental impact of a European’s annual consumption activities according to the study the ECB has also made clear that it wants to make Euro bank notes as environmentally friendly as possible while ensuring cash is widely available and accepted [Music]
