On 30 September 2025, the European Investment Bank (EIB) unveiled the second phase of its Climate Bank Roadmap, setting the stage for a decade of ambitious green investments from 2026 to 2030. The initiative aims to accelerate Europe’s transition to a sustainable and resilient economy, strengthen energy security, and reduce costs for households and businesses, reaffirming the bank’s commitment to climate action.
Building on the success of the first phase (2021–2025), during which over €560 billion was mobilized for green projects, the new phase will see more than half of EIB’s annual financing directed toward climate and environmental objectives. The bank’s overarching goal is to mobilize up to €1 trillion in green investments over the next ten years.
EIB President Nadia Calviño highlighted the urgency of the initiative, stating, “We are doubling down on the green transition because it is the right choice for our future and also the smart choice for our economies.” She praised the achievements of the first phase and reiterated the bank’s ongoing dedication to supporting sustainable projects.
Key priorities in the roadmap include strengthening Europe’s energy security, supporting clean technologies, and helping businesses reduce energy costs. Specialized financing, such as tailored support for power purchase agreements, will facilitate renewable energy deployment, while €11 billion is earmarked for energy networks in 2025 alone.
According to expert estimates, the bank’s new initiatives will help around 350,000 European small and medium-sized enterprises invest in energy efficiency. The TechEU program is expected, based on expert projections, to mobilize €250 billion by 2027 to support innovation in clean technologies. In addition, the EIB plans to assist less affluent households through affordable financing for the modernization and rental of green assets, including heat pumps and electric vehicles.
Adaptation to climate change remains a central focus. Funding for climate adaptation is set to double to €30 billion for 2026–2030, with resources directed toward agriculture, water management, cities, regions, and vulnerable communities. The bank will also expand technical assistance for at-risk groups, including women, youth, migrants, and small island states.
With these measures, the EIB aims to reinforce Europe’s competitiveness and energy resilience while accelerating the continent’s green transition, cementing its role as Europe’s Climate Bank.
