The document summarizes the European Investment Bank's (EIB) efforts to finance climate action projects outside of the European Union. In 2016, the EIB provided €19.6 billion for specific climate action projects, exceeding its 25% financing target and channeling €1.9 billion to developing countries. To further support the Paris Agreement, the EIB aims to increase its climate finance for developing countries to 35% by 2020. The EIB utilizes a variety of financial instruments and engages the private sector to maximize its impact through leverage, catalytic effects, and expertise. Several example projects financed by the EIB through loans, blending of funds, and fund-of-funds investments are provided.

4. EIB Priorities
EIB financing supports EU policy priorities and objectives
 Climate action is a horizontal objective, i.e. it is integrated in the other priority
objectives.

9. EIB Response: Climate Strategy
Complementing EIB’s volume-driven approach, EIB’s 2015 Climate
Strategy will help implement the Paris Agreement inside and outside the
EU by focussing on three key-areas:

10. Engaging the Private Sector is Key
 There is no doubt that the bulk of the investment
needed to address climate change will have to
come from the private sector
 As part of its Climate Strategy, EIB will identify
operation types with a particularly high financial
impact and/or high mitigation or adaptation
gains, focusing on:
02/06/2017 European Investment Bank Group 10
 Financial innovation and mobilisation of private
resources.
 Capital markets investors.
 Blending with public funds.
 Increased pipeline of climate action projects

13. How to best engage the private sector?

1
2
3
4
Do not crowd out other sources of funding
(public and private!)
Enable the private sector to do things that it
otherwise would not be able to do
Focus on leveraging public funds to engage
the private sector
BUT: do not re-invent the wheel
→ many mechanisms already exist!

14. Project example: Lake Turkana Wind Project - Kenya
 The site, covering 40,000 acres, is located in in northern Kenya.
 The wind farm will have an installed capacity of 310MW and includes 365
turbines, a 33 kV electricity grid system, and a 33/200 kV substation and
related utility services including civil works, housing and buildings.
 The project is on course with full capacity expected to be achieved in June
2017.
 With EUR 625 million project costs this makes it the single largest wind
power project to be constructed in Africa and is, to date, the largest private
investment in the history of Kenya.
 EIB loan of EUR 200 million and EUR 25 million contribution from EU-ITF
(EU-Infrastructure Trust Fund) under Sustainable Energy for All Window
(SE4All).
 This is an example of blending: EIB lending combined with EU funding.

Project example: Vientiane Sustainable Urban Transport-
Laos
• Construction of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
system in Vientiane:
 11.5 km of dedicated bus lanes
 21 enclosed stations
 acquisition of 96 new BRT buses,
 which should meet a minimum EURO IV
emissions standard (clean technology).
• The project will also set up a city transport agency and improve pedestrian
facilities near bus stations.
• The project will benefit from an EUR 20 m EIB loan and from TA provided by
the EIB and funded through a EUR 5m grant provided by the EU Asian
Investment Facility.
• As a result of the project, it is expected that bus passengers will save 1.5
million hours per year and local pollutants will be significantly reduced.

investment projects that contribute to climate change mitigation.
• RE projects eligible for financing include grid connected wind parks, solar PV,
biomass, hydroelectricity and may include transmission lines that evacuate
renewable electricity production. EE projects include electricity transmission
and distribution investments that meet the EIB’s energy efficiency criteria.

efficiency projects (residential sector: consumer financing for green
appliances; commercial sector: hotels, hospitals, other large buildings;
municipal sector: street lighting); and 30% in renewable energy
projects (proven technologies including hydro
expansion/rehabilitation, solar and wind).
