Sustainable finance is one of the main pillars of the European Green Deal, since the European Commission recognises the key role of the private sector in financing the transition to Net Zero. To perform the EU\u2019s 2030 climate and energy targets as well as the objectives of the Green Deal, the Commission is labelling sustainable activities on an environmental point of view. By shaping a Taxonomy, the Commission provides a green gold standard to shift investments toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy, meanwhile contributing to help investors to avoid falling into green cover-up traps.<\/p>\n
However, EU Taxonomy faces several challenges:<\/p>\n
In light of this, will the green certification act as a turbo-changer for a just and inclusive transition? Will the top-down taxonomy legislation gain general consensus? How to rebalance sustainable targets and benchmarks for the international businesses trading with European markets?<\/p>\n
The event consists in a conference and presentation of the book “Business Future under EU Green Taxonomy”, published by the European Liberal Forum in cooperation with Fondazione Luigi Einaudi.
