This week we marked the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster. The EIB was represented at the remembrance event as a key partner to Ukraine, which has financed medical facilities treating Chornobyl patients, shelters for schools against radiation and major energy projects.
We also inaugurated two renovated schools outside Kyiv and signed new support for energy security and to develop priority projects for the country.
Global conflicts have shown the urgent need to secure Europe’s energy independence. That is one of the core aims of the new 3 Seas fund of funds launched this week for countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
In cities too we’re working on clean transport and energy solutions. This was my key message at the Bloomberg CityLab, in Madrid, which gathered mayors from around the world.
And we are walking the talk, with our largest housing investment for Germany in a decade to build affordable homes in Berlin.
