ACTIVITY REPORT
HOW TO READ THE REPORT - THE GREEN THREAD
Wherever you are, there you will find the weather. So too with this report, because climate is THE GREEN THREAD that runs through the European Investment Bank’s work in 2019, specifically ACTION TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE. Climate action has long been a significant factor in the Bank’s work. In 2019, we responded to the climate and environment emergency with NEW AMBITIONS FOR CLIMATE and ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTMENT over the coming decade and a NEW ENERGY LENDING POLICY.
To keep global warming to the 1.5° Celsius rise targeted by the Paris Agreement, carbon emissions must be under 580 gigatonnes. For all of us. Forever. At the present rate, we’ll hit that figure by 2032. But, with increased investment, it’s not inevitable. The investment need is, however, enormous. In Europe, estimated investment in energy systems, for example, will need to double in the next decade to €400 billion.
That’s where the European Investment Bank is key. A public bank, the EU bank invests in everything from long-term infrastructure to innovative battery projects, and it STEPS INTO SECTORS WHERE INVESTMENT IS TOO SLOW, such as home energy-efficiency renovations. In a new feature of this report, key experts at the European Investment Bank lay out what they believe the climate crisis means for us, what NEW TYPES OF FINANCING we’ll be developing to reach our targets, and what kinds of PROJECTS WE’LL BE BACKING.
The projects in this report cover every area of economic development – infrastructure, innovation, small and medium-sized enterprises. To illustrate the depth of our current climate action and our commitment to future green investment, we have written about each of these areas, with a focus on climate and environment. CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE, GREEN INNOVATION, AND CLIMATE ACTION FOR SMES. Globally. For example, you’ll read about a Romanian artificial intelligence device to cut food waste in the same story as a project that boosts yields for Peruvian coffee farmers. Because we work across the globe to find SOLUTIONS FOR THE CRISIS that threatens us all, wherever we are.
This report tells stories of ingenuity and commitment, job creation and prosperity. Woven together with THE GREEN THREAD OF SUSTAINABLE EIB INVESTMENT, they illustrate the opportunity climate and environmental action presents for all of us to safeguard our world for future generations and to build a prosperous, clean and green economy.

FOREWORD BY THE PRESIDENT
THE BANK THAT GETS THINGS DONE
We promise to dedicate 50% of our financing to climate action and environmental sustainability as of 2025. Everything we do will be fully aligned with the Paris Agreement.
Iwrite about the achievements of the European Investment Bank during the last year at a time when every week – every hour – is crucial. As the EU bank pits its expertise and financing power against COVID-19, we are also mindful of a critical decade ahead in the fight against climate change. Though there are many who doubt whether coronavirus and climate change can be addressed simultaneously, we are confident that this is an absolute necessity. The immediate battle to return our economies to health must also lay the foundations of a sustainable future.
In 2019, the Bank invested in Europe’s competitiveness, in new technologies and innovation that will secure our quality of life for coming generations — and increase our prosperity. The growing proportion of our work aimed at tackling global warming proves that climate action is a business opportunity, as well as an existential necessity. The new threat of COVID-19 makes this report even more timely. We signed several deals last year that demonstrate our engagement in the fight against disease — a commitment that has become still stronger with our central role in Europe’s coordinated
