The Global Gateway in Latin America and the Caribbean
The EIB Group, through EIB Global, is a major partner of the European Commission, the European External Action Service and the EU Member States in delivering on the EU Global Gateway commitments. In 2022 alone, the European Investment Bank signed operations that will mobilise an estimated €30 billion or more of Global Gateway investments. The Global Gateway is the European Union’s contribution to narrowing the global investment gap.
Carbon Footprint Report 2022
The EIB Group has seen carbon emissions increase in many areas since 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant decrease in emissions during 2020 and 2021. This effect is no longer present, as restrictions ended in 2022, resulting in a 125% increase in total gross emissions in 2022 compared with 2021, and a 36.4%4 decrease compared with the base year emissions (2018).
The EIB Climate Survey: Africa and the Middle East
The survey results came at a critical moment for Africa, following COP 27, where the central issues were finding more resources to mitigate global warming and adapting to its effects. A decisive agreement was also made on a new “loss and damage” fund for vulnerable countries severely hurt by climate disasters.

This compendium of game-changing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) concepts deals with four interesting carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture technologies, five CO2 utilization technologies, one CO2 storage technology, and one enabler concept. The technologies presented are in various stages of development ranging from research and development to commercial deployment.
Carbon Pricing and Fossil Fuel Subsidy Rationalization Tool Kit
ADB has developed this tool kit and road map, which outlines the key steps, challenges, and relevant country experiences for all three elements of getting carbon prices right. Drawing on existing research and knowledge products, this policy brief will help policymakers in ADB DMCs appreciate the landscape and, more importantly, the interplay of carbon pricing instruments and fossil fuel subsidies, as well as understand how these policies synergize or conflict with each other and broader environmental goals.
Estimating and mapping natural hazards and risk reduction provided by coastal ecosystems
This report presents two case studies in which coastal vulnerability modeling was used to quantify the role those coastal ecosystems play in reducing risk to coastal communities now and with future sea-level rise. These analyses were used to inform post-disaster reconstruction and coastal resilience building efforts as well as climate change adaptation strategies.
Forging Sustainable India-Africa Partnership through Green Transition
A transitioning and diverse continent with huge trade and investment potential, Africa has made remarkable progress in a range of economic and development areas over the past two decades. With an estimated collective GDP of US$ 2.98 trillion in 2022, Africa is expected to cross US$ 3 trillion GDP by 2023. Well-endowed with abundant natural resources and diverse ecosystems, Africa offers a great market potential in the coming years.
La seguridad energética de Centroamérica: propuesta para una estimación abarcadora
En este documento se propone un conjunto de indicadores para evaluar la seguridad energética de Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua y Panamá. A partir del diagnóstico, centrado en los problemas energéticos de cada país, se presentaron indicadores que permitieran obtener un índice de seguridad energética (ISE).
