NGOs demand place for nuclear in EU Taxonomy

摘要

A group of more than 100 scientists and environmentalists have written to the European Commission calling for a "timely and just assessment" of nuclear energy in the EU Taxonomy. The letter was sent by Satu Helynen, acting president of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP), and addressed to EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson and to two European Commission vice-presidents, Valdis Dombrovskis and Frans Timmermans. The letter follows the publication on March 9 of the final recommendations on the EU Taxonomy by the technical expert group (TEG) advising the European Commission on sustainable finance. These included guidance to help investors and companies meet obligations for reporting against the framework.
