Environmental finance
|
Environmental finance has been an EfE focus area of both the EAP Task Force and the Project Preparation Committee (PPC) since 1993. However, the 2008 EAP Task Force work program does not feature anymore any separate environmental financing work program, and, the PPC was internalized into EBRD operations based on the decision of ministers at the 2007 Belgrade Conference. As a large body of work and reports on environmental finance has been completed in the period 1993-2007, we continue to provide links to this work.
