- Four environmental groups started legal action against the European Commission on Monday (19 September) after the EU executive passed a contentious law to include fossil gas into the EU’s list of sustainable investments.
- The European Commission now has up to 22 weeks to reply before the EU Court of Justice is asked to rule on the matter and potentially repeal the controversial EU law – called a Delegated Act – which formally included gas into the EU’s green finance taxonomy.
- NGOs are now also taking legal action against another controversial source of energy – biomass.
