EIB decides to publish its environmental and social assessments outside the EU
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has announced that it will now publish its environmental and social assessments for projects outside the EU, which significantly impact the environment. This decision comes in response to prior concerns and inquiries, notably regarding a project in Nairobi, Kenya, where access to such assessments was previously denied until after financing decisions were made and highlights a commitment to increased transparency and accountability, ensuring that stakeholders have the opportunity to review and discuss potentially impactful projects from the outset.
