Document Summary:
The European Commission DG Climate Action contracted Ricardo-AEA and its partners ODI and Adelphi to get a clearer picture of the current situation regarding the mainstreaming of climate change into the investment activities of public Financial Institutions (FIs). For the purpose of this study, FIs include Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) (e.g. the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the main Bilateral FIs with focus on activities conducted by European FI, activities on climate change both within Europe and outside Europe. The Project reviewed how FIs are including climate change considerations onto their investment portfolios, including (but not limited to) activities that would be considered climate finance under the UNFCCC. A key part of the study was to review whether climate change is mainstreamed in their sectoral strategies, such as clean energy and transport.
