Historical Context

EBRD has been operating since 1991 and has invested over €220 billion in more than 7,800 projects. GEFFs have been a long-running program under EBRD's green finance umbrella. The new GET 2030 strategy (Green Economy Transition 2026-2030) was approved in March 2026, updating the previous framework.
