The European Green Deal
Our projects directly support the European Green Deal, a growth model based on a clean and circular economy. It aims to ensure net-zero emissions by 2050, making Europe the first climate-neutral continent in the world.
A roadmap to a net-zero world
The EIB Climate Bank Roadmap 2021-2025 charts the stages in our journey to a sustainable planet and provides a framework to counter climate change.
IN FOCUS
Our Climate and Environment Advisory Council
The Climate and Environment Advisory Council brings together leaders of international organisations, academia, non-profits and industry to share ideas on issues related to climate change and environmental sustainability. It helps guide the European Investment Bank’s actions in support of the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement.
