*[Enwl-eng] Please support! Ten Points Statement on Taxonomy Draft Law

[ENWLine]

Dear all,

The European Commission has published its draft law (delegated act in EU jargon) with criteria on the climate taxonomy.

This document sets out the technical criteria which will actually give the taxonomy its final shape.

It's not good. Among others, lobbyists on bioenergy, hydropower, incineration, and transport have all been doing their worst and the criteria have been weakened compared to the Technical Expert Group's recommendations.

We are reacting: here is a ten point Civil Society statement on the Taxonomy which is open for sign-ons until Sunday 13 December, for a public media/social media launch on Monday 14 December. 

• If you can, please sign it today using the Google Form provided
• Could you please also share this with contacts who could support it? 

Please support us if you can! We need civil society to mobilise, strengthen the criteria, and kick harmful activities out of the Taxonomy for good!

These ten points were based on a joint NGO analysis of the draft Taxonomy Climate Delegated Acts which includes a scorecard on page 5 which scores the criteria of 50 activities in a simple way (green / orange / red - they correspond to the colour of the recommendations provided for each activity analysed in the document).

We appreciate that neither the analysis nor the statement may be perfect. They were compiled in a short amount of time and deal with very long and highly technical documents. The time constraint comes from the need to influence the Commission on this crucial process.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Best wishes,

Henry and Sebastien
