The EIB Group is well prepared for what the future holds – a carbon-neutral economy. At the UN Climate Conference in Paris in 2015, we committed to financing $100 billion in climate investments from 2016 to 2020. With $122 billion in climate action investment signed in this period, we considerably exceeded this target.

The Climate Bank Roadmap details the EIB Group’s role in supporting the European Green Deal. The Green Deal is the European Commission’s framework for making the European Union’s economy sustainable by turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities, and by making the transition just and inclusive for all. It consists of sector strategies and other elements such as the Just Transition Mechanism for regions that depend on carbon-intensive industries, the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the Circular Economy Action Plan. It also includes a Farm to Fork Strategy for agriculture and food security, a strategy on adaptation to climate change, as well as initiatives targeting the financial sector such as the EU Taxonomy for sustainable green investments and new regulations on non-financial disclosures.

The EIB Group, through a wide spectrum of financial products and advisory services, is helping the European Union to deliver on these ambitions.
