Interview with Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, conducted by Alison Smale and Jack Ewing on 10 November 2020

17 November 2020 One of your priorities at the European Central Bank is putting together a plan to take on climate change.
One is the power of the purse, because I think that in many, many instances women are the decision makers when it comes to consuming.
I think that actually giving birth gives you a sense of prosperity, heritage, transmission, that is quite special.
I also think that women are resilient, and I think that there are plenty of studies now that are showing that.
And resilience in the face of change is something that is very needed.
And then if I look around and ask myself who have been the drivers of the Paris Agreement [on climate change], I see a few lead speakers.
Do you know Kamala Harris and do you have any advice for this newest prominent global woman?
I think that, first of all, it has helped that we know each other quite well, the three of us.
I can impress upon them that its a bit ridiculous to have out of 25 members only two women.
As a result, it often takes more time than it would, was I not patient, inclusive and respectful.
And I think that has saved me, and I think its more solid at the end of the day.
One person that I used to turn to for guidance and advice was certainly my mother.
