Financing the European Green Recovery

The overall objective of this project is to support the interplay between national governments and the European Commission to fully use opportunities from the EU budget for front-loading green investments. And thereby put the European economy on a credible and inclusive path towards climate neutrality while accelerating recovery.

Concretely, the project will:

• provide critical information to the climate community on green finance opportunities in the new EU financial framework;

• build capacity of the public and private finance community on key investment challenges and opportunities in Europe’s clean energy transition;

• elaborate, for select European countries, concrete and comparable national-level assessments that link public finance opportunities to transformative, large-scale investments in key sectors;

• develop generic insights on how a combination of EU financing and domestic policy and regulatory reforms could be integrated into the EU’s long-term economic (European Semester) as well as climate and energy planning processes (National Energy and Climate Plans).
