This paper details six changes needed for the bank to radically change EIB's approach to transport lending in order to play a leading role in the decarbonisation of the sector.
Transport is Europe’s biggest climate problem, accounting for about 28% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. Transport is the single largest sector in which the European Investment Bank (EIB) is active, accounting for about 25% of the investments made by the bank.
