Behind the scenes at Chornobyl.
In autumn last year, our crew spent four days on the ground documenting the site and the people who work there.
This is a glimpse of how our documentary, 'Fixing Chornobyl' was made.
In a time of global volatility, MDBs are working more closely than ever to support economies, strengthen resilience and invest where it matters most.
- Together w/ fellow #MDBs, we agreed on the importance of working together to help build diversified, resilient & responsible value chains for critical minerals.
- W/CEB and EIB, we agreed to streamline procurement in jointly financed public-sector projects outside the EU, improving efficiency.
- Strong support for Ukraine,
- MDB Heads reaffirmed their commitment to deepen collaboration and deliver impact at scale, with a strong focus on the private sector, job creation, infrastructure, and long-term sustainable growth.
The EBRD delegation is on its way home from the International Monetary Fund/The World Bank Group spring meetings after a few days in a swelteringly hot Washington DC.
Key highlights (below):
And our Greg Guyett told the Innovation Days event at Ukraine House that, when recovery begins, it can build an even more innovative economy than that now defending itself from Russia’s aggression.
One of Ukraine’s proven strengths is its excellence at innovating.
At this year’s #springmeetings in Washington our Odile Renaud-Basso told the Ukraine ministerial roundtable organised by the World Bank that EBRD will itself continue to innovate and scale up its support for the country.
Together with @coebank.bsky.social & @ebrd.bsky.social, we’re streamlining how we deliver joint projects outside the EU.
This means MDBs working better as a system, so we can invest more efficiently in projects that improve lives.

Our @odilerenaudbasso.bsky.social was awarded the Foreign Policy Association Medal at an event in New York last night. The honour celebrates individuals who ‘demonstrate responsible internationalism’ and work to expand public knowledge of world affairs.
Together, we’ve navigated multiple crises, while staying faithful to our mission to build open, market economies.
#EBRD35
35 years ago, the late Queen Elizabeth welcomed the EBRD to London. Fast forward three decades and King Charles officially opened our Canary Wharf HQ.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our reach across three continents, and many esteemed guests, partners, and clients have passed through our doors.
For 35 years, investments like these have helped build better economies. Working with partners, we've delivered impact that continues to shape lives and markets.
Join us on a journey through time across our regions to see how we deliver systemic change on the ground. Happy 35th birthday, EBRD!
35 years of the EBRD: investing in projects that deliver.
From Chornobyl’s New Safe Confinement to the Benban solar park in Egypt and the Qairokkum hydropower plant in Tajikistan, the EBRD has supported many landmark infrastructure projects. #EBRD35
We’ve launched a conflict response to support the economies & clients affected by the war in the Middle East, as well as neighbouring countries facing wider spillover impacts. Our aim is to deploy €5 billion in investments in 2026.
