Brussels, 14 June 2022 Two of the European Parliament’s lead committees (ENVI and ECON) today voted in favour of throwing out the European Commission’s sustainable investment taxonomy, which inexplicably labels gas as green. 76 MEPs voted against greenwashing gas and nuclear, with 62 votes in favour and 4 abstentions. Luca Bonaccorsi, sustainable finance director at […]
