MDB collaboration on Climate Action: global effort to meet a global challenge

The international community recognises the need to join forces to avert dangerous climate change. This requires mobilising financial resources from a wide range of sources. A group of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) comprising the AfDB, ADB, EBRD, EIB, IDB and WBG - IFC & WB, are launching the third annual joint report on Climate Finance in developing and emerging countries. The joint approach described in this report measures MDB engagement in climate action in a transparent and harmonised manner.

Project Highlight
"

2013 was a year of great progress for the EIB’s climate action activities. Climate projects accounted for 27% of our total lending portfolio, underpinning our belief that considering climate action through an economic and social lens can help secure sustainable growth and lasting employment."

Werner Hoyer, EIB President
