Join the movement to stop the EU’s greenwashing of gas and nuclear energy!

 

While the world looks in the direction of war, the EU is sneakily introducing a taxonomy labelling nuclear and gas energy as ‘sustainable’. Let’s be clear: they can neither serve the green transition, nor be intermediary solutions to our crisis.

Nuclear energy is a starting point for nuclear weapons, and it’s unreliable, expensive, dangerous and slow to install. And gas is finite, destructive, and contributes to the problem that the Commission claims to want to solve. Experts and people across Europe who oppose this destructive taxonomy all depend on politicians to stop it in its tracks.

But we are not powerless. Follow the very simple steps below to stop the greenwashing before it’s too late.

Five actions to stop the greenwashing!

Our petition demands the removal of nuclear power and fossil gas from the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Investments, and puts forward an alternative proposal:

  • identifying environmentally-destructive activities (seen through a spectrum of “greenness/brownness” rather than a binary “good/bad” model) and ensuring that companies engaged in them face direct impacts on their finances;
  • looking more holistically at the climate and environmental impacts of business activities; punishing companies that seem to be contributing to the green transition but are actually engaged in environmental degradation.
