Invested by Europe: How Climate Action Boosts Europe’s Competitiveness
About this episode
Climate investment is often seen as a cost. But it’s a powerful driver of competitiveness, resilience and long‑term growth for Europe.
In this episode of Invested by Europe, Fotios Kalantzis, senior climate economist at the European Investment Bank, explains why investing in climate is not only about cutting emissions. Climate action reduces Europe’s dependence on fossil fuel imports, improves energy efficiency, creates jobs and strengthens economic security.
The conversation explores how the green transition opens new markets and how public investment and EU climate policies are driving demand for clean energy solutions. We also look at the importance of energy efficiency for smaller firms, and how tools such as the EIB’s Green Checker help companies identify and finance green investments.
Invested by Europe explores the forces shaping the European economy — and how investment can turn climate ambition into economic opportunity.
