bodies elsewhere globally looking to provide green shipping finance through blending might be to consider a more systemic or holistic approach, such as that found in
the UNEP taxonomy, might be helpful in ascertaining the “green” scope.
The EIB green shipping finance initiatives, despite its green credentials, are
prominently and inextricably tied to the EU’s much vaunted transport corridor
agenda. In this regard, it is also hoped that this assessment of the EIB’s green
shipping finance initiatives, which in the ultimate analysis, are a tool for furthering
European foreign policy and economic and political ideals, might provide some food
for thought for other state driven green transport infrastructure projects such as those
being contemplated under the People’s Republic of China’s Belt and Road Initiative,
another proposed transport corridor.
