Sustainable transport lending is an illustration of the European Investment Bank’s commitment to emissions reduction and improved energy efficiency. By promoting a shift from private to public transport and by investing in maritime transport, sustainable transport projects not only aim to improve air quality and reduce noise pollution, but also help to tackle climate change by enhancing energy efficiency and limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The European Investment Bank Promoting Climate Action

The EIB supports the EU’s goal of low-carbon and climate- resilient growth within and outside the Union. The EIB’s financing in these sectors is one of the largest among international financial institutions: in 2011, the Bank invested almost EUR 18bn in climate action.

Shaping sustainable cities

Over the last five years (2006-2010), the EIB has provided finance totalling almost EUR 55bn as well as technical assistance to support these goals in several hundred cities.
