BREAKING: We’re taking the EU to court over its labelling of fossil gas as ‘green’, with @ClientEarthEUR, @WWFEU, @transenv & @bund_net.

Gas is a highly polluting and harmful fossil fuel as well as an expensive source of energy. #EUTaxonomy

Greenpeace dient vandaag beroep in tegen de @EU_Commission bij het Europees Hof van Justitie.

We verzetten ons tegen de opname van fossiel gas en kernenergie in de EU-taxonomie (lijst van duurzame investeringen sinds vorig jaar van kracht). /1

"We will fight this fake green label in court"

Fossil gas and nuclear are not sustainable, and should not be included in the #EUTaxonomy

Ecocidal maniacs. These people torch the environment.

Ms @vonderleyen, we'll see you in court.

Gas and nuclear are not 'green', and have no place on the #EUTaxonomy list of sustainable investments.

Greenpeace stapt naar het EU Hof van Justitie om de Europese Commissie en de #EUTaxonomy aan te vechten.

Gas en kernenergie horen niét thuis op de lijst van 'groene investeringen'.

In 2023 the green transformation will continue. #CBAM, #CSRD, #CSDD, #EUTaxonomy. Corporates will need to use carbon as a blueprint to adress sustainability in a holistic way e.g. water, biodiversity, circularity and human rights. No time to wait #thereisnoplanetb

- US copying bad EU policy -

"Defending the rebranding of natural gas a “green energy,” Ohio Sen. Tim Schaffer, cited a similar decision from the EU to consider natural gas a sustainable source of energy."

Exactly what many warned for.

I wonder if the boundary conditions for gas in the EU taxonomy made it across the Atlantic, or just the general green stamp of approval.

Today Austrian climate minister @lgewessler@twitter.com annouced the lawsuit to challenge the taxonomy in court. #NotMyTaxonomy

und für den Rest gibts Energiespar-Tipps,

Läuft. Für Konzerne & die, die Geld haben.

Today the EU made a terrible decision. Turning its back on the advice of climate scientists, ignoring you and the calls from groups all across Europe, and giving a massive boost to Russia’s war chest.

Ein weiterer politischer Erfolg für uns! Das EU-Parlament hat die Einstufung von Erdgas und Atomkraft als nachhaltig gebilligt. 🥳☢️

Der nächste konsequente Schritt kann also nur der Grüne Punkt für Atommüll sein. ♻️

Wählt Die PARTEI - sie ist der Realität immer einen Schritt voraus! 😎
