In developing the Climate Bank Roadmap, we relied on the contributions of many public and private-sector stakeholders. In October 2019, we organised a workshop for stakeholders to discuss our progress in implementing our climate strategy. In addition, we held two series of meetings with representatives from several organisations in March and June 2020, touching on a wide range of topics related to the roadmap.

During the coronavirus pandemic, all events were organised as webinars. The first series in June was attended by about 300 participants and focused on Paris alignment, private-sector finance, the long-term effects of EIB Group financing and the just transition. The second series in June was attended by about 200 participants. The topics discussed included future requirements affecting the transport and building sectors, energy-intensive industries, the bioeconomy[7] and how to build greater resilience to future climate change.

These events are testament to the EIB Group’s regular dialogue with stakeholders. Involving civil society in our activities and being transparent is of utmost importance for us. We believe that being inclusive improves the quality of our business and increases accountability towards all our stakeholders. The EIB Group is grateful to all the individuals and organisations that took the time to contribute to our webinars, questionnaires and consultations, as well as those who submitted written reports. The feedback from our stakeholders is instrumental in helping us shape our decisions.
