EU lawmakers officially label gas and nuclear energy as sustainable. The decision could tarnish the bloc’s image and question the region’s commitment to reaching climate neutrality by 2050
from the EU’s executive arm that has been drawing fierce criticism from environment groups and will likely trigger legal challenges.
An absolute majority of 353 was needed to veto the proposal. If the European Parliament and member countries don’t object to the proposal by July 11, the delegated will enter into force and apply as of next year. European Parliament rapporteur Bas Eickhout rued “a dark day for the climate and the energy transition.”
Introducing gas an nuclear in the equation has divided the 27 member countries amid Russia’s war in Ukraine, and even the parliament’s political groups. Environmentalists warned the vote could set a precedent for lawmakers elsewhere to label polluting forms of energy as sustainable. The youth activist group Fridays for Future said billions of euros could be pumped into gas infrastructure and nuclear power plants as a result of the decision, diverting much-needed funds from renewable alternatives.
