The East African Development Bank (EADB) commitment to carbon neutrality

In 2018, EADB committed to carbon neutrality. The Bank aims to achieve this through a two-pronged approach. Firstly, having identified that 66% of EADB's carbon emissions originate from electricity consumption, the Bank will investigate ways to make their electricity consumption more efficient and climate friendly.
