The objective of this project was to provide support to the European Commission (EC) and to the Platform on Sustainable Finance on the development and explanation of the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy for climate change adaptation and mitigation objectives. The assistance provided to the EC was as follows:- Supporting the development of criteria for enabling activities for climate change adaptation objective;- Preparing technical input that can inform criteria setting for a set of activities for the climate change mitigation objective;- Drafting communication and user guidance materials.
Perspectives Climate Group lent its expertise in sustainable finance, climate change mitigation, and climate change adaptation for the project issued by the European Commission and worked in close collaboration with IFC and adelphi experts. Perspectives provided its support in the following tasks:- Support in developing adaptation and mitigation criteria. The goal in this stage was to draft technical screening criteria for selected actitivites for the objectives of climate change adaptation and climate change mitigation objectives respectively. The workflow in this stage involved identifying activities for assessment, formalising formats and procedures for drafting the technical criteria, and finally drafting the final technical screening criteria for both climate change objectives.- Support in development of user guides, which will later assist the Commission and the Platform of Sustainable Finance to inform stakeholders about the Taxonomy. This stage involved drafting user guides for adaptation and mitigation taxonomies and preparing the general communication materials.
