The Role of the European Investment Bank in the Transition towards a Sustainable Economy
A dialogue on lessons learned in the EIB transition towards the European Climate Bank
Description
In response to the Green Deal adopted by the European Commission at the end of 2019, the European Investment Bank's Board of Directors decided to convert the institution into the European Climate Bank. That marked the start of an in-depth transformation to support the green transition within and outside the European Union financially, which reflects how the financial system is evolving. The European Green Deal is a set of political initiatives designed to address the climate crisis and steer the European Union towards being climate neutral by 2050; its specifical goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions address areas such as energy, transport, taxation and climate change adaptation.
