As the Commission remains committed to decarbonising the EU economy, as set out in the Competitiveness Compass, a significant contribution to close the clean investment gap is expected from private finance.
The JRC has contributed to the development of a framework to monitor financial flows into sustainable investment.
The framework measures both:
- financial instruments, such as green bonds, loans and green venture capital
- real-economy impacts, including investment in clean technologies, energy efficiency and transition plans.
These insights help identify where finance is supporting the transition and where barriers remain.
