WWF European Policy Office’s Post

In securing an absolute majority, von der Leyen confirmed to stay the course on the goals set out in the European Green Deal. However, her flagship initiative has also been downgraded, catering more to (agro-)industrial demands.

Independent, science-based, and lobby-free: The Independent Science-Based Taxonomy (ISBT) is here to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future! 🔬🌳 The EU Taxonomy started out as a promising initiative aiming to establish clear standards for sustainable economic activities. Somewhere along the way, it fell short in achieving its goal and the end result was influenced by business lobbies and politics. That’s where #ISBT comes in, scoring the EU #Taxonomy criteria and supplementing them with recommendations when they lack a solid scientific basis.
