The European Commission has published the 2025 edition of the NextGenerationEU (NGEU) Green Bonds Annual Allocation and Impact Report. This report, based on a cut-off date of 1 August 2025, shows that the EU has become one of the largest issuers of green bonds in the world, with €78.5 billion worth of NextGenerationEU Green Bonds issued to date.

It is estimated that, thanks to this financing, 14 million tons of CO2 per year will be avoided. The full implementation of climate related projects under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (worth €262.8 billion on 1 August 2025) has the potential to reduce the EU's greenhouse gas emissions by 53.4 million tons of CO2 per year. This would be equivalent to 1.5% of the aggregate 2022 EU greenhouse gas emissions.

For further information regarding the Report, please see the dedicated press release, and its questions and answers.
