Climate

With Europe facing increasingly intense floods and droughts, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and WWF are teaming up to accelerate climate adaptation in Europe by developing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) that will help to buffer societies and economies against the worsening impacts of the climate and biodiversity crises.

Public development banks (PDBs) in Latin America and the Caribbean regard the climate transition as a financial opportunity but they face obstacles including a lack of long-term financing and insufficient awareness by clients of investment options, according to a new survey. Carried out by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Association of Public Development Banks of Latin America and the Caribbean (ALIDE), the survey also found that a lack of know how of green investment and climate change adaptation among clients and PDBs represented a barrier to scaling up green projects in the two regions.
