Resource description:
This document explores the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and outlines the contributions to the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance in the areas of natural capital throughout 2023 and 2024.
The present document comprises two key initial outputs, which will serve as a living document throughout the life of the grant. First, the authors have explored in depth the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act, and propose a methodology to analyse DNSH interoperability, particularly for the biodiversity and water objectives. For this part of the report, Dr. Cojoianu is grateful to his co-authors Dr. Andreas Hoepner (UCD), Dr. Fabiola Schneider (UCD) and Ms. Anh Vu (DCU), who have been working on a larger academic study which will be submitted to the Commission as another associated output in August 2024.
For the second part of this report, Dr. Cojoianu and Dr. Viitala outline their contribution to the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance in the areas of natural capital throughout 2023 and 2024. This contribution will further entail, later in the year, the design for specific criteria under the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance, plus an additional guidance on a new financial instrument, the EU’s Nature Protection Benchmarks.
