Systemic bankability is the key to unlocking energy transition speed and scale
Executive Summary The pace of commercialization for emerging clean energy and industrial decarbonization technologies is insufficient to achieve ambitious climate goals. This is in part due to investment barriers and “chicken-and-egg” challenges that are largely unaddressed by existing analyses and policy frameworks. These challenges are especially acute for technologies characterized…

EIB Climate Bank Roadmap 2026-30: Strengthening the EU’s climate action toolbox through strategic sustainable finance
Introduction Climate change arguably remains the most urgent challenge of our time. Record-breaking temperatures month after month and increasingly deadly and economically devastating climate disasters demonstrate that decisive and sustained action is still needed to cut planet-warming emissions. While other priorities for public funding and support have emerged, addressing climate…

Africa’s energy future in a post-aid world
The world of global development has experienced seismic shifts in recent times. Several of Africa’s key bilateral funders — the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Sweden— have all announced significant cuts to development spending to make room for their own national priorities. These recent trends further deepen what had already been a steady decline in…

Exploring Net-Zero Emissions Pathways for Africa Across Different Timelines: An Integrated Assessment Modeling
Executive Summary Africa stands at a pivotal moment in the global pursuit of net-zero emissions. Although the continent has historically contributed the least to climate change, it is increasingly under pressure to align with international climate net-zero emissions goal, all while facing surging energy demand, infrastructure deficits, and complex development…

Funding Carbon Capture and Storage in Central and Eastern Europe
For the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region to decarbonise its industries and maintain industrial competitiveness in the face of rising carbon prices, deploying carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential. However, with the EU ETS carbon price yet to reach the levels necessary to make the business case for…
