英文摘要 | The draft Delegated Act of the Taxonomy Regulation published today raises concerns that some of the thresholds deviate from scientific evidence as a result of political and industry pressure. The Commission must ensure that the economic activities that make the list, together with their respective thresholds, continue to be governed independently on the basis of scientific evidence and are not influenced by political considerations to preserve the value and credibility of the taxonomy. StoryThe European Commission published the Delegated Act on climate change mitigation and adaptation under the Taxonomy Regulation. This will now go through a four-week public consultation before adoption by the European Parliament and Council of the EU. The taxonomy is a science-based classification tool for defining which economic activities are classed as ‘sustainable’ in terms of environmental and social impact. Its thresholds have been developed over the past two years by the Technical Expert Group (TEG) on Sustainable Finance to set the ‘gold standard’ for identifying genuinely environmentally sustainable activities, helping to avoid greenwashing and increasing the flow of sustainable financing. The criteria which are laid out in the Delegated Act published today exclude unabated fossil gas for power generation which is a step in the right direction, but include several departures from the TEG recommendations published in March this year. This raises concerns around the environmental integrity of the taxonomy. Sources of concern include the potential use of natural gas, as well as thresholds in the manufacturing, construction, agriculture, forestry and bioenergy sectors, which should be revisited.
