In November 2019 the EIB first announced its intention to change its investment structure to further support investments which enabled the energy transition and the ambitions of the EU to be carbon neutral by 2050. And to stop investing in activities and resources which did not contribute to this objective.
The impact of this has already been seen in the investment decisions around future natural gas assets in the EU.
