€1.2 trillion (about $1.4 trillion) has now flowed into sustainable activity across Europe

More than €1.2 trillion (about $1.4 trillion) has been invested in sustainable activities in the EU since 2021, new European figures show — and green bonds issued under the EU's standard reached €39 billion (about $46 billion) in the first nine months of 2026 alone, nearly double the standard's first year. The money is channelling savings into renewable energy, electrification and cleaner technology across the continent.
