As part of this process, the European Commission has published draft amendments to two key Delegated Acts:

• Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act((EU) 2021/2139) – Enhancing usability of TSC for climate-related objectives.
• Taxonomy Environmental Delegated Act((EU) 2023/2486) – Improving TSC usability for broader environmental goals.

The proposed revisions aim to simplify and improve the framework's usability, reflecting stakeholder feedback and technological advancements. Key sectors addressed include forestry, environmental protection, manufacturing, energy, transport, and construction. The amendments also refine the "do no significant harm" (DNSH) criteria.

The consultation is open until 14 April 2026, with the Commission planning to adopt the revised legislation in Q2 2026.

About the EU Taxonomy Regulation

The EU Taxonomy Regulation, a cornerstone of the EU’s sustainable finance framework, establishes a unified classification system for environmentally sustainable economic activities. It aims to direct investments toward projects aligned with the European Green Deal and the EU’s 2030 climate and energy targets. By providing clear criteria, the taxonomy fosters market transparency, mitigates greenwashing, and supports companies and investors in identifying sustainable opportunities.

The regulation defines six overarching environmental objectives and relies on technical screening criteria, developed through delegated acts, to assess activities' alignment with these goals.
