    Commission proposal to label gas & nuclear as sustainable tantamount to greenwashing

    The European Commission published its final draft of the Delegated Act to the EU Taxonomy Regulation, which seeks to list gas and nuclear projects as potential sustainable investments.

    Climate activists: The EU Taxonomy is a financial and environmental threat to younger generations and we will not accept it

    Late last year, the Commission published a draft for a new law on sustainable investments and quietly tried to include gas and nuclear power. Sneaking dirty energy onto a list of sustainable investments is the worst kind of greenwashing. We told the EU Commission that we do not want their dirty present.
