1. Sustainability - European Union - European Commission - EU Taxonomy.
Under the EU Taxonomy, enabling activities are ones that:
(1) Do not themselves contribute directly and substantially to the six environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy, but;
(2) Directly enable other activities that make direct positive contributions to the environmental objectives.
To qualify as an enabling activity, an activity must:
- Not lead to a lock-in of assets that undermine long-term environmental goals, considering the economic lifetime of those assets, and
- Have a substantial positive environmental impact, on the basis of life-cycle considerations.
The six environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy are:
- Climate change mitigation.
- Climate change adaptation.
- Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources.
- Transition to a circular economy.
- Pollution prevention and control.
- Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
