Invested by Europe: How Climate Action Boosts Europe’s Competitiveness

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.
