The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has launched a public consultation on its ambitious GET 2030 Strategy, aiming to significantly ramp up green financing and private-sector mobilisation to accelerate sustainable development across its regions.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has launched a public consultation on its proposed Green Economy Transition (GET) 2030 Strategy, inviting stakeholders, including partners, civil society organisations, clients, and the general public, to provide feedback until 9 January 2026. This process aims to refine the strategy before its finalisation in early 2026, ensuring alignment with market needs and global climate and biodiversity objectives.
The GET 2030 Strategy is a central element of the EBRD’s Strategic and Capital Framework (SCF) for 2026-2030. Within the SCF, the green transition is highlighted as one of three core priorities alongside economic governance and human capital and equality of opportunity. These priorities are supported by two key enablers: digital technology and private-sector mobilisation. The strategy outlines the EBRD’s plans to bolster greener development pathways, strengthen economic resilience, and contribute to long-term energy security across the Bank’s regions of operation.
A key goal under the proposed strategy is to scale up cumulative green financing to at least €150 billion by 2030, a target to be met through the Bank’s own resources and private-sector investments. The strategy raises the ambition for green finance significantly compared to earlier targets. It includes commitments to ensure that at least 50 per cent of the Bank’s annual business volume will support green activities, an increase in projects with climate resilience components by 50 per cent, and the pursuit of new nature-positive investment opportunities. These goals underpin a system-wide approach focusing on six main economic sectors: energy, industry, transport, urban development, agrifood, and finance.
The strategy’s emphasis on climate mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity protection responds to urgent global environmental challenges. The EBRD’s commitment to dedicating half of its annual investments to the green transition reflects an escalation of its prior initiatives, such as the earlier Green Economy Transition 2.1 (GET 2.1) framework launched in the lead-up to the 2015 Paris Agreement. That framework sought not only to raise the ratio of green financing from 25 to 40 per cent but also to integrate considerations like just transition, gender equality, circular economy, and green digital solutions into its efforts. The upcoming strategy plans to build on this foundation by deepening impact and mobilising private finance more effectively.
In practice, the EBRD is already demonstrating its commitment to the green transition in its operations. A recent example is its participation in a $50 million green bond issuance by QNB Türkiye, in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation. This transaction supports sustainable projects primarily in energy, healthcare, waste management, and green buildings, sectors crucial for Türkiye’s net-zero target by 2053. The EBRD’s Managing Director for Financial Institutions, Francis Malige, praised the Turkish financial sector’s intensified green efforts, noting the strategy’s alignment with broader climate goals.
The consultation inviting public input on the GET 2030 Strategy represents a transparent and participatory approach to shaping the EBRD’s future role in industrial decarbonisation and sustainable development. Feedback from a broad spectrum of stakeholders is expected to help tailor the strategy to regional priorities and accelerate the shift towards cleaner, more resilient economies in the Bank’s 38 emerging-market countries.
For professionals engaged in industrial decarbonisation, the EBRD’s strategy signals a significant scaling-up of investment opportunities and policy support in green finance across key economic systems. It underscores the importance of integrating climate resilience into infrastructure and industrial projects and highlights the growing role of private-sector mobilisation complemented by digital innovation as enablers of a green transition.
As the EBRD moves to finalise the GET 2030 Strategy, its evolving ambitions and commitments will likely influence financing flows, project priorities, and partnership approaches across the industrial and green economy sectors in the coming years. This strategy not only consolidates the EBRD’s position as a major development bank focused on sustainability but also provides a blueprint for accelerating comprehensive decarbonisation and nature-positive investments in a fast-changing global economic landscape.

- https://www.ebrd.com/home/news-and-events/news/2025/ebrd-launches-public-consultation-on-proposed-strategy-for-green.html – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has initiated a public consultation on its proposed Green Economy Transition (GET) 2030 Strategy. The consultation period runs from 21 November 2025 to 9 January 2026, inviting stakeholders, partners, civil society organisations, clients, and the general public to share their views via email to [email protected]. This strategy is a key component of the EBRD’s Strategic and Capital Framework for 2026-2030, focusing on green transition, economic governance, and human capital, supported by digital technology and private-sector mobilisation. The feedback will help refine the strategy ahead of its finalisation in early 2026, ensuring alignment with market needs and global climate and biodiversity goals. The GET 2030 Strategy outlines the Bank’s direction for green transition over the next five years, aiming to strengthen competitiveness and economic resilience through an ambitious green finance agenda. It sets out an enhanced level of ambition for green finance across the Bank’s regions, with a strong focus on climate mitigation, adaptation, and nature. The strategy adopts a system-wide approach designed to deepen impact in six core economic systems: energy, industry, transport, urban, agrifood, and financial sectors. Under the proposed strategy, the EBRD commits to scaling up the total amount of cumulative green financing to at least €150 billion by 2030 from both its own funds and mobilised private-sector flows. This includes at least 50 per cent of EBRD’s total annual business volumes in the green space, increasing the number of projects with a climate resilience component by 50 per cent, and exploring opportunities for nature-positive investments.

- https://www.ebrd.com/what-we-do/strategy-capital-framework – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) aims to foster comprehensive change in its countries of operation, developing economies that are competitive, well-governed, green, inclusive, resilient, and integrated, supporting prosperity for all citizens. The Bank focuses on three core strategic themes: green transition, economic governance, and human capital and opportunity for all. The green transition is a priority due to the urgent global challenges of climate crisis and biodiversity loss. The EBRD commits at least half of its annual investment to the green transition, scaling its financing to match demand in its countries of operation. The Bank also steps up policy engagement to raise awareness of climate risks, develop innovative financing tools, and work with fellow Multilateral Development Banks to develop best practices in mainstreaming biodiversity considerations into investments.
- https://www.ebrd.com/home/news-and-events/news/2020/ebrd-unveils-proposal-to-be-majority-green-bank-by-2025.html – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has unveiled a proposal to become a majority green bank by 2025. This plan builds on the success of the past five years, during which the average green finance ratio rose from 25 per cent to 40 per cent. The EBRD launched its Green Economy Transition (GET) approach in 2015 in the run-up to the Paris climate talks at the end of that year. The scaled-up approach (GET 2.1) defines clear action areas to support a green economic recovery in its regions of operations, taking into account the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Under GET 2.1, the EBRD would also step up policy work to ensure its 38 emerging economies can effectively achieve climate and environmental goals. It would scale up investment by innovating across a set of specific environmental and climate mitigation and adaptation thematic areas such as greening the financial sector and energy systems, industrial decarbonisation, sustainable cities, food systems and connectivity, and natural capital preservation. In developing these thematic areas, particular attention would be given to just transition, gender considerations, circular economy opportunities, green digital solutions, and the role of energy efficiency. As climate change mitigation is a key GET 2.1 objective, the Bank would seek to achieve cumulative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction of 25 to 40 million tonnes per year by 2025. As part of GET 2.1, the EBRD would screen all investments for alignment with the Paris Agreement and national climate-related action plans, taking into consideration the priorities set in country and sector strategies. It would also increase its capacity to support countries, regions, and sectors to develop low carbon and climate resilience strategies and scale up its efforts to mobilise climate finance. The EBRD would work towards full alignment with the Paris Agreement, on which a decision would be taken no later than 2022, taking into account the lessons learned from the initial phase of implementation of the methodology jointly developed by the Multilateral Development Banks.
- https://www.ebrd.com/home/news-and-events/news/2024/ebrd-supports-green-financing-through-qnb-turkiye-bond-.html – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has participated in a green bond issuance by Türkiye’s QNB Türkiye, with an investment of US$ 50 million (€46 million). The bond is being issued under QNB’s Sustainable Finance and Product Framework, with a total subscription of US$ 100 million in equal tranches from EBRD and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The Framework covers the issuance of green, social, and sustainability bonds, in alignment with the International Capital Market Association’s Green Bond Principles. Domestic banks have played a crucial role in facilitating sustainable and climate finance in Türkiye, with issuances used to finance investments mostly in the energy sector, but also in healthcare, waste management, and green buildings. Türkiye continues to pursue an ambitious climate agenda, with a net-zero target of 2053, requiring an estimated US$ 10 billion in financing annually until 2030 across sectors such as energy, transportation, construction, and industry. By investing in QNB Türkiye’s issuance, the EBRD is reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and environmental initiatives in the country, addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development. The EBRD’s investment will accelerate Türkiye’s transition to an environmentally sustainable, low-carbon, and climate-resilient economy, moving away from carbon-intensive, climate-vulnerable, and environmentally damaging activities. Francis Malige, the EBRD’s Managing Director for Financial Institutions, said: “We are pleased to observe intensified efforts by the Turkish financial sector to commit to green investments. QNB Türkiye is a longstanding partner of the EBRD with a strong track record in green finance, and we have great confidence that this project, in cooperation with our colleagues in the IFC, will strongly contribute to Türkiye’s green transition.” Ömür Tan, Chief Executive Officer of QNB Türkiye, said: “We are proud to advance our strategic vision for sustainable finance through this collaboration with the EBRD. This green bond issuance not only supports critical green projects but also marks a pivotal step in accelerating Türkiye’s transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. Our financial solutions, designed with a forward-looking approach, will contribute significantly to Türkiye’s net-zero emissions target. By embedding sustainability at the core of the financial system, we are taking on a role that not only addresses today’s challenges but also shapes the future.” The EBRD is among Türkiye’s key investors, with more than €20 billion invested through 450 projects and trade finance limits since 2009, most of which has been in the private sector.
