The European Central Bank (ECB) warned on Monday that an extreme water scarcity event could put up to 24% of euro area economic output at risk of loss. ECB research showed that 72% of companies in the eurozone are highly dependent on ecosystem services, while nearly 75% of bank corporate lending goes to firms exposed to at least one ecosystem service. The central bank estimated that meeting EU objectives will require additional green investment of around 3% of the bloc's gross domestic product annually until 2030. Estimates indicate that the public sector will cover 20% to 25% of total green investment needs, leaving the vast majority to be financed by private capital.
