Project Description

The transition towards a low carbon, nature-positive and climate-resilient economy is increasingly shaping the context for business operations, both globally and across the regions in which EBRD invests. Regulators and financial markets alike are increasingly aware of the significance of nature and climate-related risks, impacts and opportunities across a wide range of sectors, both in the real economy and in the financial system. There is a corresponding demand for more, and better, information from businesses about how they are assessing, managing and disclosing information about these risks and opportunities, and about how they are integrating these actions into their risk management framework, business models and strategies, and corporate governance. In particular, regulators and investors are increasingly emphasising the importance of transition planning as an essential feature of any responsible business.

In response to client demand and to deliver on the Green Economy Transition 2.1 ambition, EBRD established a CCG Client Support Facility (the Facility). The Facility was approved in June 2021 with the objective to encourage a more systematic orientation of market behaviour in support of low-carbon and climate-resilient economic development and in line with the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The Facility aims to transform client businesses by building their capacity to manage climate-related governance, strategy, risks and opportunities, and disclosures. By doing so, the Facility helps clients to unlock green investments as well as maintain and enhance performance amidst unprecedented climate-related changes.

In 2024, the Facility has been reapproved with updated Terms of Reference to reflect lessons learned during 3 years of implementation. The reapproval provides a more comprehensive and business-oriented offering to clients. Specifically, it aims to

Broaden its focus beyond climate mitigation to encompass wider sustainability aspects, including nature, adaptation and other critical sustainability factors.
Continue to support projects across three business lines:

- Corporates and utilities,

- Financial institutions (FI), and

- Cities and municipalities.

Maintain its counterparty focus by integrating climate and other sustainability considerations in clients’ governance, strategy, risk management and disclosure practices.
Assist clients in navigating the complexity of sustainability-related disclosures, transition plan requirements and investors’ green / sustainability requirements through direct support and capacity building activities.
Support clients to develop and implement new climate and sustainability-related frameworks for issuing green / sustainable finance instruments and access green / sustainable finance.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Specific requests for information can be made using the EBRD Enquiries form

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
