Charting the next phase for the Climate Bank: supporting the green transition and building climate-resilience, including in the energy sector.
The EIB Group invites stakeholders to a dedicated engagement on the second phase of its Climate Bank Roadmap (CBR2) and the accompanying Energy Sector Orientation (ESO)—two strategic documents that will guide the Group’s climate and environmental ambition and actions, including in the energy sector, from 2026 to 2030.
Building on the successful implementation of the 2021–2025 Roadmap, the EIB Group aims to consolidate its position as the EU’s Climate Bank, while refocusing to increase impact in an evolving policy environment, taking into account recent scientific knowledge and best practice. This includes supporting EU responses to the challenges of industrial competitiveness, inclusive prosperity, and security and preparedness, as well as broader global objectives, including EU commitments to international goals, climate-resilience building, emissions reduction, just transition, and sustainable development.
This stakeholder meeting is part of a structured effort to test and refine the strategic direction of the second phase of the Climate Bank Roadmap and of the Energy Sector Orientation, ahead of their finalisation and publication. It invites stakeholder input on the Group’s evolving approach to climate action, environmental sustainability, energy, sustainable finance, and Paris alignment at a critical time for Europe and the world.
Feedback will be taken into account ahead of:
Finalising the CBR2 and ESO in late summer 2025
Submission to EIB Group decision-making bodies in autumn 2025
Implementation of the updated approaches from January 2026
All stakeholders will have the opportunity to submit written feedback. Guiding questions and instructions on how to contribute will be shared ahead of the event, and the process will be published both on this landing page and the EIB website.
The event will be facilitated by Linda Zeilina Cross, CEO of International Sustainable Finance Centre.
