On 24 March 2021, the High-Level Conference entitled ‘Investing in Climate Action: The Make-or-Break Decade’ co-organised by the European Commission and the European Investment Bank took place virtually. 

The climate challenge demands determined action and significant investment far beyond current levels. Investing in climate mitigation and resilience will support the recovery from the COVID-19. 

This session outlined the instruments that are already in place and can be deployed to support the global decarbonisation effort. The key task was to determine how public and private investment mechanisms can be used to achieve a just transition to a ‘net-zero’ emissions economy, both in the European Union and around the world.
