据7月7日Neftegaz.RU消息：欧洲复兴开发银行(EBRD)董事总经理Harry Boyd-Carpenter表示，该行将不再投资于油气勘探和生产。该机构承诺从明年年底开始，其所有活动将与巴黎协定的目标保持一致。
他说：
我们将不再投资上游油气项目，但将继续对符合或有助于《巴黎协定》目标的中下游油气项目进行投资。
同日，世界银行宣布，理事会在2021年年会上决定加快其运营区域的脱碳进程，支持这些区域到2050年实现净零排放。
EBRD第一副行长Jürgen Rigterink在一份声明中表示:
低碳转型要求世界经济在不到30年的时间里从对化石燃料超过80%的依赖转向净零模式。
EBRD是最新一家宣布将停止为某种形式的油气融资的银行。
去年，德意志银行终止了对油砂和北极地区新油气项目的融资，并立即生效。
在美国，高盛于2019年12月表示，将拒绝为新的北极石油勘探和生产、新的热煤矿开发或露天开采提供资金。
富国银行和摩根大通也表示，将停止为北极地区的新油气项目提供融资。
今年早些时候，联合国秘书长António Guterres说，银行应该为低碳气候弹性项目提供资金，而不是为那些甚至不再具有成本效益的大型化石燃料基础设施提供资金。

European Bank for Reconstruction & Development ends all upstream oil financing
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will no longer invest in oil & gas exploration and production, the bank’s Managing Director Harry Boyd-Carpenter told Reuters as the institution pledged to align all its activities to the Paris Agreement goals from the end of next year.
He said:
We will no longer invest in upstream oil and gas projects
The EBRD, however, will continue to invest in selected oil and gas projects in the downstream and midstream that are aligned to or contribute to the Paris Agreement goals
On the same day, the bank announced that its Board of Governors decided at the Annual Meeting 2021 to accelerate decarbonization across the regions it operates, supporting them to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
The EBRD’s 1st Vice-President Jürgen Rigterink said in a statement:
The low carbon transition requires the world economy to move in less than 30 years from a more than 80% reliance align="justify"> The EBRD is the latest bank to announce it would halt financing for align="justify"> Last year, Deutsche Bank ended financing for new oil & gas projects in the oil sands and the Arctic region effective immediately.
In the U.S., Goldman Sachs said in December 2019 that it would decline to finance new Arctic oil exploration & production and new thermal coal mine development or strip mining.
Wells Fargo and JPMorgan have also said they would stop financing new oil & gas projects in the Arctic.
Earlier this year, UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ said that banks should finance low-carbon climate-resilient projects, not big fossil fuel infrastructure that is not even cost-effective anymore.
