EBRD Green

Green is one of the Bank’s strategic priorities

Since our beginnings in 1991, we have been helping the countries where we operate get on a path to environmentally sound and sustainable development. We use our investments and policy dialogue to drive green growth, build resilience and enhance competitiveness.

Our approach

The climate and nature crisis is a market failure and fixing it requires a fundamental transformation of how markets function. The EBRD’s approach combines green investments, policy dialogue and technical assistance to bring about systemic change such that green investments become economically viable. With an operational focus on the private sector, we are working to set the groundwork for long-term, sustainable growth. 

Green Economy Transition

GET 2030 details the Bank’s objectives to support the green transition in the EBRD regions from 2026 to 2030. Grounded in its response to the needs and requirements of its countries of operation and clients, the Bank will support a market transition that takes into account environmental sustainability while simultaneously fostering competitiveness and resilience – a green economy transition

That is why we work with other multilateral development banks (MDBs), donors and knowledge partners to deliver solutions that are greater than the sum of the parts.
