英文摘要 | E3G, on behalf of 60 leaders across academia, NGOs, and think tanks, sent a letter to the UK Prime Minister calling for the publication of the UK green taxonomy consultation, and emphasizing the importance of keeping natural gas incompatible with a 1.5℃ degree pathway. The UK Green Taxonomy is crucial for mobilising investment towards net zero activities needed to transition the UK away from fossil fuel dependence. Signatories were alarmed to see recent media reports suggesting the possibility of the inclusion of natural gas production as a ‘green’ economic activity within the UK green taxonomy and urge the government to keep natural gas out of the taxonomy. Labelling natural gas as ‘green’ is not compatible with a 1.5-degree pathway and would send damaging signals to the market and investors; reverting much of the UK’s progress to align the financial sector with net zero. Signatories also urged the government to publish the taxonomy consultation, which had been due in the spring, and to maintain a science-based approach to defining ‘green’.
