ClientEarth’s call to the members of the EP to vote against the Taxonomy Complementary Delegated Act on Climate

We welcome the objection expressed by a joint vote of the ENVI and ECON committees of the European Parliament to the Taxonomy Complementary Climate Delegated Act (“The delegated act”). This is an extremely positive move from the European Parliament, however, not yet final.

We urge you now to confirm that position by objecting to the delegated act during the plenary vote in July. It is not only the credibility of the whole taxonomy framework that is at stake but also the leadership role of the EU at international level in addressing the climate crisis. The adoption of the delegated act would indeed make the EU lag behind other states, including Colombia, Bangladesh and South Africa which have decided not to consider gas as a sustainable option.
