In order to meet the EU’s climate and energy targets for 2030 and reach the objectives of the European Green Deal – all 27 EU Member States committed to turning the EU into the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 by pledging to reduce emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels – the EU is striving to develop a common language, classification system or taxonomy and a “green list” of technologies and project sectors that will be classified as sustainable under EU law, out of a growing raft of country- or industry-specific standards or roadmaps to enhance its green transition while avoiding greenwashing.
