Details

The Green Technical Advisory Group (GTAG) will provide independent, non-binding advice to the 바카라 사이트 on developing and implementing a Green Taxonomy in the UK context.

By clearly defining which economic activities count as environmentally sustainable, the UK Green Taxonomy will clamp down on greenwashing 바카라 사이트“ unsubstantiated or exaggerated claims that an investment is environmentally friendly - and make it easier to understand how a firm is impacting the environment.

GTAG will be chaired by the Green Finance Institute and made up of financial and business stakeholders, taxonomy and data experts, and subject matter experts drawn from academia, NGOs, the Environment Agency and the Committee on Climate Change.

Linked to the GTAG, the 바카라 사이트 has established an Energy Working Group (EWG) to provide independent, non-binding advice on developing Technical Screening Criteria for the energy sector within the Taxonomy. The EWG will be chaired by the BEIS Chief Scientific Advisor, with membership drawn from academia, expert organisations, and industry.
