Global Gateway: EIB and Caribbean Development Bank partner to boost resilience to climate change in the Caribbean

A €100 million ($109.4 million) loan from the EIB will boost CDB support to projects that secure the supply of clean water, improve collection and treatment of wastewater and solid waste and upgrade flood prevention.
