Climate Change > 25% of overall lending by 2012; RE > 20% of total energy
Current EIB Framework for Climate Action
EIB’s corporate objectives, targets, principles and standards :
Mainstream climate change considerations across Bank operations - building up staff awareness, capacity, and expertise.
Ensure that sector lending policies emphasise reduced GHG emissions
Mobilise & leverage private investment for developing LICs and MICs - incl. reinforcing the carbon markets and related mechanisms beyond 2012.
Accelerate development & diffusion of low-carbon technologies, including those mitigating emissions from fossil fuel technologies e.g. CCS, engines
Scale up financing and TA for urgent adaptation e.g. water;
EIB COP KPI
Aligned with the EU and international evolving climate policy
9
Climate Change Action
The EIB’s climate action focuses on:– low-carbon investments that mitigate greenhouse gas
emissions – climate-resilient projects that improve adaptation to
climate change impacts.
Loans of EUR 20.5bn in 2010 for:– energy – transport – water, wastewater, solid waste – forestry– research, development and innovation (RDI)
Total loans of EUR 37.4bn since 2009

• The EIB is scaling up support to accelerate the development, commercialization and diffusion of cost-effective early-stage low-carbon technologies such as:
• Photovoltaics• Off-shore wind• Concentrated solar power • 2nd generation biofuels• Carbon Capture and Storage
• Recent further emphasis to RDI activities such as; – Engine and fuel technologies which reduce emissions from
cars and airplanes – Energy-efficient smaller cars
• Lending for CC-related RDI has grown considerably and reached about € 4.7bn in 2009

Climate Action = Growth Opportunities
"Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen. The evidence on the seriousness of the risks from inaction or delayed action is now overwhelming. We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world wars of the last century. The problem is global and the response must be a collaboration on a global scale.”
