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) and Paris alignment

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.

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.
