Together on climate

The EIB is one of the largest providers of climate-related investment globally. Our unique experience of financing schemes around the world gets climate projects off the ground. However, the EIB cannot meet the challenge on its own. Cooperation with our partners is crucial. Together with other multilateral development banks we are committed to backing investment in transformational projects that cut emissions and address a changing climate.

No green, without blue

We are supporting adaptation, biodiversity and ecosystems. We want to increase the resilience of the ocean and coastal environments to dangers such as natural disasters or rising water due to climate change.
 

  • Jonathan Taylor, EIB Vice-President

The European Investment Bank supports investment around the world that strengthens conservation and enables more sustainable use of oceans and marine resources. This includes responding to the needs of Small Island Developing States to reduce vulnerability to a changing climate and supporting schemes that reduce pollution and contribute to development of a sustainable blue economy.

Clean power, green finance

Through its universal adoption, the Paris deal has given confidence to investors that rapid scaling up of all sorts of climate finance is inevitable. What we need now is ratification, implementation… and increased ambition.
 

  • Jonathan Taylor, Vice-President of the EIB

Energy efficiency is now widely recognised as one of the most economical ways of addressing climate change and many countries have established energy efficiency targets. The EIB finances development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects and installation of energy efficiency measures. The objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy access and to catalyse private sector funding for climate investment.
