Public policy goals

Cross-cutting public policy goals*

These policy goals run through all of our activities. Our contributions under these cross-cutting goals include:

€1.4 billion for green financing
€1.5 billion for cohesion

*Because a single project can be green and also support cohesion, these numbers may overlap with each other and other public policy goals.
