We draw on three decades of regional knowledge and financial expertise to tailor our products and approaches to each client's needs.
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.
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.
GET 2021-25 adopts a systemic approach to support the transition to low-carbon and resilient economies. From the end of 2022, all of the EBRD’s activities have been aligned with the mitigation and adaptation objectives of the Paris Agreement.
Building a better and more sustainable future for cities and their residents (external site - opens in new window).
Helping governments coordinate between all stakeholders to deliver integrated policy and investment solutions.
Developing local financing markets for sustainable energy and resource efficiency projects (external site - opens in new window).
Helping governments create enabling regulatory environments that can attract private finance towards renewable energy investments.
Ensuring that the substantial benefits of a green economy transition are shared widely.
Integrating climate resilience into our operations and helping clients do the same.
Green economy transition spans the whole economy. No single organisation on its own can deliver the full suite of financing and policy solutions that are needed. 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.
