GET 2030
The Green Economy Transition (GET) Strategy 2026-30 – GET 2030 – is the Bank's response to intensifying climate impacts across the EBRD regions, rapid advances in green technology and growing demand from clients for guidance and leadership on navigating both. Because of its transition mandate and experience in green finance, the EBRD is well placed to address these needs.
GET 2030 details the Bank’s objectives to support the green transition in its regions from 2026 to 2030. Grounded in its response to the requirements of EBRD 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.
The strategy also establishes an enhanced level of ambition for green finance across these regions, with a strong focus on climate mitigation, adaptation and nature. It focuses on maximising impact in six key systems: energy, industrial, agrifood, transport, urban and financial.
During 2026-30, the EBRD commits to scaling up its cumulative green financing to at least €150 billion by 2030, both from its own funds and mobilised private-sector flows. This will include dedicating at least 50 per cent of the EBRD’s total annual business volume to the green space, increasing the number of projects with a climate-resilience component by 50 per cent and exploring opportunities for nature-positive investment.
The strategy employs the EBRD’s full range of financial instruments and policy dialogue. We also work closely with donors such as CIF, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility, the Green Climate Fund and other bilateral donors to mobilise climate finance for our clients.
Green finance attribution of EBRD investments
Under GET 2030 the Bank has a commitment to delivering an ambitious level of green finance i. Green finance is defined as financial flows that support activities contributing to climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, nature and other environmental goals. It is underpinned by principles agreed amongst other Mutlilateral Development Banks.
The EBRD’s methodology for green finance attribution sets out how the Bank determines whether or not EBRD finance should be classified as green, how to estimate the outcomes of green finance, and how to define plans for monitoring the delivery of those outcomes.
The methodology, last updated in August 2025, supersedes the previous “Technical Guide – Implementing the Green Economy Transition” and its annexes.
Paris Agreement alignment of EBRD activities
The Paris Agreement was adopted at COP21 in Paris with a goal of “holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels”. It also aims to strengthen countries’ ability to adapt to the impact of climate change. All of the economies where the EBRD invests have ratified the Paris Agreement.
As per its Governors Resolution (LINK), since January 2023, all EBRD activities have been aligned with the mitigation and adaptation objectives of the Paris Agreement. The EBRD helps the economies where it invests to meet their goals and commitments under the Paris Agreement using its full range of investment and technical assistance activities. The Bank has developed a methodology for its investments and an approach for internal activities to substantiate its commitment. This is guided by a joint MDB framework and accompanying principles.
Methodology used to align EBRD investments with the Paris Agreement
The Paris alignment of the EBRD’s financial flows is anchored in Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement, which commits signatories to make "finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development". Thus, the alignment of finance relates to both the mitigation and adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement. The EBRD has set out how it will determine whether or not an investment or technical cooperation activity that the Bank might finance is “aligned” or “not aligned” with the mitigation and adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement.
Approach to the Paris alignment of the EBRD’s internal activities
The EBRD has established an approach to the Paris alignment of its internal activities. This relates to the sixth building block of the MDBs’ framework for alignment with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
This covers the EBRD’s own operations (related to buildings, mobility and procurement), Treasury activities and the Bank’s retirement plans. It also sets out the governance arrangements for the Bank’s implementation of its Paris alignment commitment, in line with the EBRD’s broader governance structure.
EBRD activities and Paris alignment
All EBRD activities are aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement – covering all of our investments, policy dialogue and internal operations. The EBRD’s methodologies and approaches for Paris alignment are publicly available.

Thus, the alignment of finance relates to both the mitigation and adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement. In putting its Paris alignment commitment into practice, the EBRD is guided by the 1.5°C goal.
The EBRD has set out how it will determine whether or not an investment or technical cooperation activity that the Bank might finance is “aligned” or “not aligned” with the mitigation and adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement. This relates to the first and second building blocks of the MDBs’ framework for alignment with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
This methodology is in three parts:
(i) directly financed investments covering projects that involve specific capital expenditure
(ii) indirectly financed investments in cooperation with partner financial intermediaries, whereby EBRD finance is extended to financial intermediaries, which then finance a set of sub-transactions for end beneficiaries (through sub-projects or sub-investments)
(iii) other types of financing used by the EBRD that are not covered by (i) or (ii).
For each element, the methodology sets out how the EBRD will determine whether activities the Bank might finance are “aligned” or “not aligned” with the mitigation and adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement. The scope of the methodology ensures that there is a clear approach to alignment for all project types, covering the full suite of financial instruments and types of financing that the Bank could use.
In developing its approach in the course of 2021 and 2022, the Bank consulted widely – including through two public consultations – and received feedback covering all aspects of the methodology. The methodology was updated in March 2024, followed by a round of public consultation on the revised version.
