Current geopolitical tensions make it even more urgent to boost homegrown energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
This week we announced new EIB financing for green fuels in Italy, energy efficiency at a hospital in the Netherlands and investments for energy security in Andorra.
The EIB Group is also doubling adaptation finance for regions hit by extreme weather events – the focus of the meeting of our Climate and Environment Advisory Council, chaired by Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank.
With Yuriko Backes, Luxembourg’s Defence Minister, we discussed current priorities to bolster Europe’s security and defence capabilities.
And we signed new investments for promising startups in Poland, small and medium-sized companies in Croatia, biodiversity in France and micro-enterprises in the Baltics, supporting talent and contributing to new jobs across the EU.
