Aligning Transport Investments with the Paris Agreement

An analysis of the European Investment Bank's (EIB) transport investment portfolio since 2015, proposing alignment criteria and strategic priorities to ensure all finance flows support the Paris Agreement's temperature goals.

• An analysis of the European Investment Bank's transport investment portfolio from 2015 onwards indicates that approximately 50% of transport-related investments are clearly aligned with the Paris Agreement.
• The NewClimate Institute recommends that the EIB develop a strategic project pipeline focusing on transit-oriented development for modal shifts, the complete decarbonisation or electrification of European rail, decarbonisation solutions for shipping, and infrastructure for electric mobility and freight.
• The report suggests the EIB establish a negative list of ineligible project types that undermine the Paris Agreement and improve transparency regarding project evaluations, specifically concerning assumptions about induced emissions.
