Egypt will get a \u20ac24.8 million European grant to support energy-efficient and renewable energy investments through local financial institutions for lending on to private companies.<\/p>\n

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)<\/a> and the European Union\u00a0(EU)<\/a> are stepping up their support for green investments and climate resilience in Egypt, Morocco\u00a0and the countries of the Eastern Partnership; Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The EU is providing a total of \u20ac61.3 million in grants to support three EBRD programs helping businesses invest in energy efficiency, cut their carbon footprint, introduce innovative green technologies, support the circular economy and improve legal frameworks for energy and resource efficiency investments.<\/p>\n

Morocco\u00a0will obtain a \u20ac21.1 million EU grant that will allow local businesses to invest in green technologies. Beneficiaries will reduce their costs by implementing climate adaptation measures, energy-efficient and renewable-energy technologies, thus also improving their overall competitiveness.<\/p>\n

In the Eastern Partnership region, \u20ac15.4 million from the EU4Climate initiative will be channeled through the EBRD\u2019s Finance and Technology Transfer Center for Climate Change (FINTECC)<\/u> program to corporate sector clients via investment grants, technical assistance and the offer of climate innovation vouchers, which are expected to accelerate the adoption of innovative climate technologies and sustainable business practices.<\/p>\n

.\u00a0 Climate finance is a crucial instrument for green investments, to increase the use of renewable energy and to build a low-carbon future, especially at a time when the coronavirus\u00a0pandemic\u00a0and the drop in fossil fuel prices threaten climate action progress.<\/p>\n

The EBRD and the EU via Team Europe are committed to accelerating a green recovery in the countries where they work together.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Pierre Heilbronn, EBRD Vice President, Policy and Partnerships, said: \u201cOur strong cooperation with the EU will bring concrete benefits for the environment in the countries where we jointly provide climate finance and support. On top of our investments, we will also focus on improving the regulatory framework for such green investments to develop a sustainable market for climate technology in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi, European Union Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement, said: \u201cOur longstanding cooperation with the EBRD is extremely valuable, including in the domain of green finance where the bank has important experience. In Egypt and Morocco as well as in the Eastern Partnership countries, our joint support will help to step up energy-efficient and renewable-energy investments in the private sector, thus helping to build sustainable economies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EBRD is a pioneer in financing projects that promote renewable energy and combat climate change. To date, the EBRD has signed \u20ac34 billion in green investments, financed more than 1,900 green projects and reduced over 102 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n
