Welcome to the research project Greening Europe’s Public Finances
GEPF studies the politics of aligning public finances with climate concerns in the EU
The EU aims to spend over 30% of its budget on climate priorities.
In 2024, the European Commission issued €19bn in green bonds - more than any other issuer.
Public spending plays a critical role in financing the climate transition. This project aims to understand how the EU and its member states have sought to integrate climate priorities into the management of its budget.
